In Biology, anatomical similarity refers to the fact that members of the same class of animals tend to have similar structures and organs, even though they may not look the same externally. For example, humans and horses share anatomical similarity, and nearly every structure in one can be found in the other -- although it might be difficult to identify: fingernails and hooves, for instance.

Is a sperm whale a mammal reptile amphibian or fish?
Whales, dolphins and porpoises are all mammals (there is an unrelated fish also called the Dolphin or Dolphinfish). These mammals evolved from extinct hoofed carnivores and gradually adapted to an exclusively marine life. Their similarity in form to fish is an example of convergent evolution; anatomical similarity to land mammals confirms their true origins.
