A comparison essay on two living things - need help for an idea

I have been given a assignment to write a comparison essay on two living things. And as it's required to have a clear reason for the comparing these 2 things, i cant think of any thing but the Cat and Dog topic. But i really dont want to go with that topic because there are hundreds essays about cat and dog and simply because i dont like it. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance. It will be great help for me.

Oh, this is such a cute essay prompt! :3

Well, I think you should first of all have a look at this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_interaction All possible types of relationships between animals are here. Pick the one you think you will be able to talk about.

I know this isn't the best example, but when I think about a really awesome relationship in nature, I always think about those butterflies who migrate and a very pretty flower. If I'm not wrong, I think it's the monarch and the swamp milkweed. The caterpillars of this butterfly are a plague that's why the plant releases a white, milky substance from it's leaves when bitten that swallows the caterpillar killing it. It's really creepy and beautiful at the same time.

But letting that aside, find whatever works best for you :D

Weird!

Okay, so that will be an interesting topic.. more interesting than cat vs. dog.

But I want to ask you... what would you truly want to compare? I suppose I would want to compare homo sapien with other monkeys. We humans are 96% monkey, and that's a lot of monkey, ha ha. I heard a comedian named Jim Jeffereys say that.

What interests you? Writing is easy when you have authentic interest. You thought of cat and dog, but you have no reason to compare them. What do you want to compare? What do you already have a reason to compare?

**** Be sure to write one paragraph about the similarities and another about the differences.

I dont know how formal this essay has to be, but you could do something whimsical and fun like comparing mythological creatures or something like that. I think it could also be interesting to compare insects or spiders to humans-you could talk about the whole "they're more afraid of us than we are of them" factor.
