The 'niche' word originally meant a small recess in a wall, intended for some object to be placed there. In general use, it is a metaphor for a place where a group of similar items may be gathered together.

In the particular case of 'an animals niche' would include the environment suited to that animal, and perhaps broadened to include similar animals.
