Do other mammals besides humans get gray hair as they age? Or is it a uniquely human thing for hair to turn gray?

SUMMARY
Other mammals, in addition to humans, do experience gray hair as they age. This phenomenon is observed in various species, including dogs, which often develop gray fur on their muzzles, and white-tailed deer, which exhibit a whiter coat as they grow older. The discussion confirms that graying hair is not exclusive to humans but is a common trait among aging mammals.
