Natale: Homologous Structure

This is an Ara macoa.  It was found at 42°03'53.02" -71°34'51.59".  Its wings and the Canis lupus familiaris's legs are homologous structures because their skeletons are similarly structured but they perform different functions.  The Canis lupus familiaris's legs are for walking while the Ara macoa's wings are for flying.
