Age - a question for my all-knowing friends-list
Ed was asking on Facebook what it would be like if we didn't age visibly so much - after all, other animals don't tend to.
Is this actually true? Thinking about it, most other animals don't seem to get wrinkled in the same way, nor does their fur turn completely white or all fall out. But is this just some animals? Do other animals age visibly the same way we do? Or is there something odd about people?

2, a dog which lives to the kind of old age we would expect from a human often does have entire coat greyness. Hence my comment about posting pictures of Gollum when he was young and when he was elderly.
