Competitive Exclusion

Real World Example

Imagine trying to share a single chair with someone at a crowded event. Just like two people can't comfortably sit in the same chair at the same time, two species cannot occupy the same niche in a habitat simultaneously. The chair represents the niche, and the two people represent the competing species; just as only one person can effectively use the chair, only one species can successfully thrive in a particular niche without outcompeting the other.
