Technically, a habitat is where a specific species lives, and describes the location in physical terms (ocean, salt marsh, sandy beach). A "biome" is a type of habitat unassociated with a species. For example, you will find the "boreal forest" biome in two continents, but only one of them is habitat for the north American Snowy Owl.
An ecological niche usually refers to the *role* the animals plays, what it eats, what eats it, etc.
