How fast do animals age ?

[The Aging Trumpet]

I know the aging for a cat or a dog, but not for fantasy animals.

Anyone know where i can find out how a hippogriff ages ? Reason i ask is i am buying a young one and want to train it to be combat trained

I don't believe there ever has been any kind of official answer on this sort of thing... but here's an idea I had:

A horse is generally considered mature at about 4 years of age.
Birds of prey vary in the mature age from 2 to 5 years.

So you could say that since a hippogriff is a bird mixed with a horse that it follows a similar pattern - a particularly good example being that many breeds of horse and the bald eagle have the same maturity age and expected lifespan (4 years and 20 years respectively).
