An organism’s niche includes the range of abiotic and biotic conditions it can tolerate. 

In the case of the cottontail rabbit, its niche includes the ranges of temperature and humidity that it can tolerate, the plants that it eats, and the predatory hawks and coyotes with which it coexists.

No two different species can share the same niche but can have similar niches,  this is because of competition for resources like food, space etc

Two species cannot coexist permanently in a community if their niches are  identical
