The area in which an organism lives is called its Habitat. A habitat includes both biotic and abiotic factors. For example the forest habitat.
Niche:
Full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions is an animals Niche. For instance, part of the description of an organisms niche includes its place in the food web. another part of the description might include the range of temperatures that the organism needs to survive. The combination of biotic and abiotic factors in that ecosystem. A niche includes the type of food the organism eats, how it obtains this food, and which other species use the organism as food. For an example in the picture a matured rabbit will feed on any type of plant of small insect. Just as predators like a cheetahs prey on rabbits. The physical conditions that the rabbit requires to survive are part of its niche. Rabbits spend all of their life on dry ground. A rabbits body temperature will have to stay warm in order to survive while digging to burrow in the ground to stay warm during the cold seasons but to also hide from prey. The rabbits niche also includes when and how it reproduces. The male and female rabbits mate once a year to give birth to five babies at a time. Keeping the babies on hide out until they are ready to venture out into the real world.
