* Terrestrial arthropods often have short hairs as sensory equipment. Some spiders can be described as positively hairy.
* It's obviously ''not'' hair, but the Bearded Dragon, an agamid lizard that's popular as a pet, got its name because [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|it looks like it has a beard]] made of spiky scales.
