Problem with: public boolean equals(Pet otherObject)

Before I edited this program the items for the user to enter were:  name, population and growthrate.  I wanted to add "age" as an item for the user to enter .  I added the "age" as a string not an int.  Everything compiles great untill I enter:  ((age.equalsignoreCase(otherObject.age)) below.  If I comment this part out  it compiles fine.  What am I doing wrong?  Untill I get this entry in correct the code wont execute correctly... it does compile if I comment this part out as I did in Exibit B below.  

Exibit (A)  (Code Exerpt)The following code gives me this error when I compile it:  C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\java\CHP4\FINAL-PET\Pet.java:96: ')' expected

public boolean equals(Pet otherObject)
    {
      return ((name.equalsIgnoreCase(otherObject.name))
       ((age.equalsIgnoreCase(otherObject.age)) //this entry causes me to get:C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\java\CHP4\FINAL-PET\Pet.java:96: ')' expected
            ((age.equalsIgnoreCase(otherObject.age))                
                && (population == otherObject.population)
                && (growthRate == otherObject.growthRate));
    }

Exibit (B) (Code Exerpt)  IF I COMMENT IT OUT LIKE THIS IT COMPILES FINE:

public boolean equals(Pet otherObject)

 {
      return ((name.equalsIgnoreCase(otherObject.name))
       //((age.equalsIgnoreCase(otherObject.age))
            ((age.equalsIgnoreCase(otherObject.age))                
                && (population == otherObject.population)
                && (growthRate == otherObject.growthRate));
    }

Exibit (C) FOLLOWING IS THE FULL CODE I AM TRYING TO GET COMPILED.  IF I COMMENT OUT ((age.equalsIgnoreCase(otherObject.age)) IT WORKS.  I NEED TO
KNOW HOW TO CORRECTLY ENTER ((age.equalsIgnoreCase(otherObject.age)) .
