Not for long. Competition for resources will drive one species out.
Only one will survive.

The total niche an organism is potentially able to occupy within an ecosystem is its fundamental niche. This includes the full range of conditions and resources where the organism can survive and reproduce. In reality, competition and other factors may limit the actual niche that an organism occupies, known as its realized niche.
If 2 mouse species tried to occupy the same niche they would fight. The mice fight to right to occupy the niche. The winner of the fight gets the niche.

The habitat is where an organism lives and has many different organisms within it. The niche is the purpose that organism fulfills in that habitat. No two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat due to competition for that role.
Niche: an organism's role in the environment. Habitat: specifically where it lives. For example, many organisms maybe have the same habitat (under a log, if we're considering insects), but as long as they occupy different niches, they will not be in competition.
When two organisms try to occupy the same niche, they will compete for the same resources like food, water, and shelter. This competition may lead to one organism outcompeting the other, leading to a decrease in population or even extinction of one species. Over time, this competition can drive evolutionary changes in the competing species to reduce competition.
There is massive competition for resources resulting in one of the two species being driven away or made extinct.
An organism's niche is determined by factors such as its diet, habitat, and interactions with other species. The niche defines the role the organism plays in its ecosystem, including where it lives, what it eats, and how it reproduces. Different species occupy different niches to avoid direct competition with one another.
