You can COMPARE the same feature of two or more things, even if the feature is the same or similar. e.g compare the height of an cow to the height of a horse. (similar) OR compare the height of a cow to the height of a giraffe. (very different).
You can only CONTRAST the same feature of two or more things, where that feature is different. There HAS to be a difference for it to be CONTRAST e.g compare the height of a cow to the height of a giraffe. (very different). You CONTRAST to show the difference.
