Unlike the one-humped Camel, the Bactrian species is quite at home in a cold climate, and walks over ice as easily as its congener does over smooth stone.
In my opinion the gray wolf of North America (like his congener in the Old World) is the most degenerate and unmoral mammal species on earth.
Do we have in the red-legged and black-legged kittiwakes an example of yet another congener pair that has been affected by some perturbation in which one was affected positively and the other negatively?
There are more tenuous indications that somewhat the same thing may occur between two other congener pairs, the pelagic and red-faced cormorants and the black-legged and red-legged kittiwakes.
Its congener exhibits a mixture of brown and yellow, more suitable to its sandy lairs.
This animal differs from his African congener in several very important physical characteristics, and perhaps also in some moral peculiarities.

There was the round solid hoof of the quagga, and his near congener the dauw; and there was the neat hoofprint of the gemsbok, and the larger track of the eland; and among these Von Bloom did not fail to notice the spoor of the dreaded lion.
But out of what page in the volume of nature, in the countless leaves we have turned back, has the immediate congener dropped, that we are obliged to look for the relationship in thirty-fourth cousins?
The lowest known mammal must be found in immediate relationship with his higher congener or brother, not in any remote cousinship.
