The similarities of dolphin and bird wings may indicate **homologous structures**.
Homologous structures are body parts that share a common ancestry despite possibly having different functions or appearances. In this case, the bone structure in the flippers of dolphins and the wings of birds suggest they have evolved from a common ancestor, while adapting to different environments and needs.
