Mostly they will get along together, depending upon the species. Other wise they will not get along. Lions and Hyenas get along more or less, but do squabble.

But cattle and lions or hyena do not get along, even though they occupy the same niche. By definition, carnivores must occupy some one else's niche.

But in a field, cattle, horses and sheep will coexist happily.

Birds by and large do not seem to have this coexistence philosophy.

What is a realized niche?

Do you mean, Realized niche? if so, The part of fundamental niche that an organism occupies as a result of limiting factors present in its habitat, The presence of competing species in an environment is one example of a limiting factor that restrains or narrows an organism's ecological niche. In a realized niche, the organism tends to occupy and play an ecological role where it is mostly highly adapted.


Why do species never occupy the same niche?

The short answer is that one is always going to be slightly better at that exact niche than the other, and so will drive the competitor to local extinction. In reality, two species in nearly the same niche will often co-occur, but there will be more resources in a very similar niche that will allow for one species to exploit those other resources. Evolution can happen very quickly in these high competition areas (in a matter of a few years, it has been directly measured).
