>>Rynos are from a different part of the world. These two species would be an example of convergent evolution: different evolutionary histories leading to a similar survival strategy and appearance.

That's probably what they are, and it's a good example of convergent evolution, but there are also examples of related species/genera on both sides of the world. An example would be the ratsnakes in Asia/Europe and the ratsnakes/kingsnakes, etc, in North America. I was just suggesting it might be some type of ratsnake. I don't think anyone has ever tested it.
