compare: anacondas are reptiles and so are alligators. They both have some way of cacthing or killing there prey.

contrast: They both might be reptiles but they are not in the same group of reptiles. anacondas belong to the reptile group of constrictors, and alligators belong to the reptile group of crocodilians.
