An animal with a keen sense of smell, long claws, and sharp teeth.
Gause.
Niche. If they occupy the same niche, then they are competing for the same resources. Eventually one species will evolve to be better suited for competition and the other species will become extinct. So it is then said that one species needs to evolve into a slightly different niche in order to end interspecific competition.
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.
It's natural niche.
Fundamental Niche
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.
No, lions and tigers do not live in the same place. They each have their own niche and avoid one another. In their own habitats, they do occupy the same niche, as apex predators.
realized niche
Cheetahs occupy the niche of a meat eater that hunts moderately sized, fast-running animals.

If two animals occupied the same niche, they would have to compete for the resource that is gained from that specific niche
From A+: competition :)
