Homologous Structure

Captured at the Mautern in Austria
Wolves are great majestic creatures of the forests (leaving out the unicorns). Despite this, they have homologous structures. Unlike analogous structures, homologous structures are structures that share the same ancestral form, but not the same function. Wolves share the same homologous structures as a coyote and dog, with this information you can conclude that the common ancestor was the wolf, between the coyote and dog.
