"Lions are similar to tigers. They're both big cats."
"'Mosquitoes' and 'skeeters' are the same. Different names for the same insect."
"Pterodactyls could fly like birds."
"You two have been married so long that you think alike!"
"As" in that sense isn't used too much except if you're trying to sound old-fashioned.
"Life is as a box of chocolates" sounds poetic and old-fashioned. A modern use is:
"I went to the costume party dressed as Chewbacca"
