Whiskers and antennae serve similar sensory functions in different species, allowing animals to navigate their environments and detect stimuli. Both structures are equipped with sensitive nerve endings that can sense touch, vibrations, and chemical signals. While whiskers are typically found in mammals, aiding in spatial awareness, antennae are commonly found in insects and crustaceans, helping them perceive their surroundings and communicate. Despite their differences in structure and location, both adaptations enhance an organism's ability to interact with its environment.
They are mammals and have whiskers.
It is impossible to know exactly how many species on earth have antennas. All insects have antennas and although only 900,000 have been recorded most scientists believe there could be as many as 5 million species of insects.
they are alike
All species of bears possess whiskers, which are sensory hairs that help them navigate their environment. However, the appearance and prominence of whiskers can vary among species. For example, polar bears may have less visible whiskers due to their dense fur, but they still have them. Whiskers are important for bears as they aid in detecting objects, navigating, and hunting, especially in low-light conditions.
There's nothing to indicate that neanderthals would have had whiskers. Those species that has branched off the tree of Life a LONG time ago.
they are not
Whiskers on all animals (bunnies and cats included) are in fact thickened hairs with sensory organs in the skin at the base that allow them to be very sensitive 'touch' receptors - in some animals even picking up sound vibrations! In that sense, yes bunny and cat whiskers are alike.
Both have parasitic species.
A. species
There are many species of fish that are called "catfish'. The thing that gives them this name is the feelers/whiskers around the fishes mouth. So I guess the answer to your question is. A catfish is a fish that has what appears to be whiskers.

The whiskers of the cat with black whiskers are black.
