: Two species that are of the same kind, meaning they belong to the same species, could compete for resources such as food, water, or shelter. Here are two examples:
1. Lions: In the African savanna, lions (Panthera leo) can compete with each other for prey, such as zebras or wildebeest. If food is scarce, two prides of lions in overlapping territories might compete directly to hunt the remaining available prey.
2. Trees: In a dense forest, trees of the same species can compete for sunlight. As trees grow, they need sunlight to perform photosynthesis. If there is not enough light due to a closed canopy, individual trees of the same species will compete by trying to grow taller and spread their leaves wider to capture more sunlight.
