>>51547367>>51547367>convergent evolution includes similar forms for different functionsNo, many examples of convergent evolutions are animals that have similiar forms for the same function in their respective ecosystem. See
>>51545057and
>>51544526In fact it's part of the reason why the thylacine went extinct. Because of the introduction of dingos by Europe caused it to compete as dominant mainland predator when it just couldn't.
>similar functions may arise in different niches anywayBecause there's a need for them, because that's how evolution fucking works. Animals adapt to their envoirments to best suit them so survive.
>and don't backpedal with "similar", you said "same"Fucking bite, you know what I meant. Don't be pedantic about words and think it's a fucking gotcha
