It is because animals have different adaptations such as fur and has a difference such as feathers.
A niche is a cycle an organism goes through every day to survive. A hahitat is where an organism lives.
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.
There is massive competition for resources resulting in one of the two species being driven away or made extinct.
no two species can share the same niche
The difference is is that a niche is a role that an organism plays in its habitat that is where it lives. Example: squirrel plays a consumer in the food chain and it lives in a tree in any where.
They can share the same habitat because some animals live in the same houses and they cant share the same niche because their different animals . =) and that's the answer .

no they do not have the same niche but same habitat, so what?
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.

The term niche is more general in meaning than habitat. A habitat is specifically a place in which an organism can live. A niche refers to a survival strategy which involves a place to live, food to eat (or in the case of green plants, food to create) and any other unique aspect of a given organism that gives it an opportunity to survive.
no two species can share the same niche
A habitat is where the organism lives; desert, jungle, ocean etc. Many organisms can live in the same habitat. The niche is the organisms role within the habitat. Niches are generally much smaller then that of the habitat.
The difference is is that a niche is a role that an organism plays in its habitat that is where it lives. Example: squirrel plays a consumer in the food chain and it lives in a tree in any where.
Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers live in the same habitat as Pileated Woodpecker.
