The statement "Must be found in the same biogeographical region" is not true about species that show convergent evolution. While it is possible for convergent evolution to occur between species in the same biogeographical region, it is not a requirement. Convergent evolution can occur between species that are geographically separated but subject to similar selection pressures, such as marsupial mammals in Australia and placental mammals in other parts of the world.
