Question

Help Pleasee ??

Can 2 species coexist in the same niche? why or why not ?

Answer 1

I understand your confusion, but think about it this way. A niche is the role an animal played in it's environment (food it eats and where it lives) Suppose there were 2 families of squirrels and they both moved to a new area. In this area there are only enough acorns to feed one family and only one tree with a hole in it to sleep in. So basically there is one niche and 2 groups of animals that want it. One family is going to loose and they will die off. the other squirrels with their mad skills will live on and pass their traits on to future generations of awesome squirrels. lol
