Tale of Two Features

A certain feature
      on a creature
   dooms it to extinction

   Exact same thing
      in writing ~
   a mark of fine distinction

Evolving to survive In form What of the one trick poney ? One trick was all that horse could do Can it be denied the heat of his heart is shining through?.........some words and phrasing stolen directly from the wording of one Paul Simon.

I guess even marks of distinction are doomed to inevitable extinction...
