While the current image is a fine example of this trope, there's nothing in the image itself that conveys that they're of the same species without the caption explaining it.

Here's an image that I made with Miltank and Tauros from Pokémon which I feel shows this trope with the image by itself.

I agree, that's an improvement.

Based on my (admittedly limited) knowledge of DC Comics lore, I refuse to believe that current is even an example. It's a bad image regardless of that aspect, but still.

The Pokémon image is a huge improvement.

So that's 8 votes, so making the swap.

Edit: Okay, image is about to be in place. Caption ideas?

Old pic for reference:

They're the same species? You're kidding, right?

Wrote up an entry for Tauros and Miltank in the Pokemon section as well.
