There is massive competition for resources resulting in one of the two species being driven away or made extinct.
Only one will survive.
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.

This idea was first formulated by G. Evelyn Hutchinson, an ecologist who proposed the concept of ecological niche in the 1950s. The competitive exclusion principle, based on this concept, states that two species cannot coexist if they occupy the exact same niche in an ecosystem.
In theory, multiple organisms can occupy the same niche through resource partitioning, where each species uses different resources or occupies a different part of the niche. However, intense competition may limit the number of species that can coexist in a specific niche in reality.
Only one will survive.
Not for long. Competition for resources will drive one species out.
Only one will survive.
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.

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.

Not indefinitely. The key to occupying the same niche is resource availability. When two different organisms use the same resource in a simliar way, they can coexist without any problem if population density is low. When more individuals are present and occupy the same niche, competition takes over and whichever organism is the most efficient at obtaining the common resource will outcompete others.
