http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_niche
| Quote: | | In ecology, a niche (pronounced nich, neesh or nish) is a term describing the relational position of a species or population in its ecosystem. The ecological niche describes how an organism or population responds to the distribution of resources and competitors (e. g., by growing when resources are abundant, and predators, parasites and pathogens are scarce) and how it in turn alters those same factors (e.g., limiting access to resources by other organisms, acting as a food source for predators and a consumer of prey). |
From this: members.shaw.ca/mrkwan/science8/Biomes%20Notes.pdf
| Quote: | Every organism that lives in a biome or environment has a specific role or niche.
Niche: an organism’s role in an environment including where it lives and what it eats.
Example: The niche of buffalos that live in the Alberta grasslands eat grass, travel in herds and live out in the open. They are considered food for big predators |
I guess you could use the buffaloes as an example.
Googling "Alberta niche organisms" worked in finding that.
Now, just find an image of an Albertan buffalo, describe its characteristics, and you're done.
