Bison and wildebeest are both large grazing animals with similar adaptations to life on relatively arid grasslands. Bison are found only in North America; wildebeest are found only in Africa. Which statement best explains why they share similar adaptations but live on different continents.

Parallel evolution may be defined as a type of similar evolution that occur between the organisms that are located far away may be in different country or on different island.

The Bison and Wildbeest shows the similar adaptation because of the similarities in the environment. They have always been on different island but evolution parallel and have similar morphology as well as physiology. They represent the convergent evolution.
