Philippine mixed-species

The LA Zoo has exhibited Red River Hogs with Bongo, and for a little bit the zoo also Babirusa with Lowland Anoa.

Interesting that the LA Zoo's Babirusa exhibit is very grassy and the pigs have not destroyed their exhibit.

babirusa don't root up the ground the way most pigs do.

That explains why their exhibit is always grassy.

Sacramento Zoo keeps RRH's and Bongo mixed, as far as I know.
Beardsley Zoo's current peccary exhibit is very lush in the summmer. When they get their new exhibit, I'm not quite sure if they'll be sharing it with anteaters, or if they'll be seperated.

Does it work okay? Is there any grass/undisturbed area left for the Bongo?

Reading this through again reminded me of this picture I saw a while ago:

Does anyone know how long the enclosure's grass lasted for?

San Diego Safari Park - warthog and bat eared fox.

Caldwell Zoo - warthog in large field savanna with zebra, impala, ostrich, kudu. (The field is so large that the pigs do NOT destroy the vegetation, so maybe size is the key?).
