Baldness is an easy way to indicate age of a male character, or to try to make a character look older and distinguished (or evil or macho).
When applied to an Anthropomorphic Animal, the effect can be weird and is usually represented as a crown line of hair tufts around the back of the head, indicating that the character is an older man intended to be bald, and yet as an anthro animal still has a layer of "regular" fur under the place where their "human" hair used to be.
This can also create a situation where, ironically, the older men with the balding line of additional hair have more hair than the standard anthro characters with a normal animal's hair length. This especially applies to species who don't normally have hair, such as reptiles or insects.
See Also: Charlie Brown Baldness, where a character who has no hair is not intended to be bald, this is a case where a character with hair is intended to be "bald". Fur Is Skin, Furry Female Mane.
May be a form of Tertiary Sexual Characteristics.

Charlie from Finding Dory is a blue tang whose black markings don't extend all the way to his brows, giving him the appearance of baldness.

Br'er Bear in Song of the South animated segments is shown to have a balding crown with an actual bald spot in his fur under his hat. This is a Brick Joke as earlier in the film, part of his fur was accidentally pulled off by Br'er Fox.

At first, it seems like Mr. Ping Kung Fu Panda follows this trope. However a full view of his hatless head shows that he actually has a hairless (featherless?) area on his head to where his hat usually goes.

Darkwing Duck:
Darkwing himself has a few feathers atop his head and wrinkles on his forehead, giving the resemblance of a receding hairline. Some flashbacks (inconsistently told by himself, should it be added) depicts him with a thicker tuft of hair-like feathers.
Herb Muddlefoot has commented on his baldness, and sports a few strands on his otherwise feather-covered head.

In World of Warcraft, male goblins are generally always naturally bald even from infancy with only the females tending to have hair. Since they became playable, several male goblin hairstyles were added, usually receding crownlines or tacky combovers (which can become Fridge Logic for anyone well versed in how goblins generally appear for the past 10 years in the franchise) but the point remains that the "balding" "older" male goblins still have more hair than the "normal" "young" male goblins (who at most have enough hair for a ponytail).

Scrooge McDuck had a head of red feathers in his youth that disappeared by the time he was middle aged, leaving two feather tufts/muttonchops on the side of his head and the standard Disney duck feathers left on his head. With his mutton chops and crown line, Scrooge still has more "hair" than his nephew Donald or even Daisy Duck!
His brother-in-law, Ludvig Von Drake also has the stringy hair/feather tufts on the side of his head, evocative of pattern baldness.

ThunderCats (1985): Most ThunderCats, both male and female, have a full mane as well as very short fur. Not Panthro (who's hairless). Thunder Cats 2011 adds Hot-Blooded Sideburns and thicker eyebrows, making his baldness even more visible.

While the vast majority of the characters in Sponge Bob Square Pants, including the protagonist, have no hair because they're sea creatures, Squidward, an octopus, is the only one whose lack thereof is portrayed as a source of embarrassment, and he regularly shows an interest in hairpieces. What makes this especially curious is that his scalp is usually drawn as having what appears to be a sort of "stubble", and "The Original Fry Cook" portrays him with beautiful golden locks in a flashback, so he's at least had more hair in his lifetime than the rest of the cast has ever grown to begin with.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
A background character called "Mr. Waddle". He appears in the second title sequence of the series, and some episodes, such as "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well".
Cranky Doodle Donkey from "A Friend in Deed". He is very sensitive about it—Steven Magnet mentions that all those years he was searching for Matilda, he was also looking for a cure to baldness. He is constantly seen wearing wigs or other equivalents (like, say, Steven Magnet's moustache) to compensate for his lack of hair.
