analogous evolution is when animals have unsimilar structures with similar functions, like the wing of a fly is different from the wing of a bat, but both help the organism to fly regardless. or a seal and penguin both have fish-like bodies, and blubber to keep them warm in arctic conditions, but are related closely...
