do you think that a zoo could successfully group a hippo, black rhino, and a cheetah and possibly an African elephant in the same enclosure. what are the biggest problems you can foresee, how big would it have to be, and how many/ what gender should each spp. be.
Thanks!;)
The outdoor enclosure for common hippopotamus. Behind the wooden poles are the savannah and the smaller antelopes have access to the waterhole.

The zoo has since them put electrical fence around it to prevent her from eating all the tropical plants.
