What a mishmash of species

Zebra and birds = savanna
Kudu = bush/woodlands
Bontebok = Fynbos
Gazelles = Sahara
Pygmy Hippo = rainforest

Sounds like they said "hey, we have some African animals, let's put them all together. Africa's is one place, right?"
 
It is a rather odd mix with no educational value. The pygmy hippo shows signs of aggression towards all species, notably chasing the birds and gazelles.
