Animals in mixed-species exhibits

[Bib Fortuna]

General thread about all kinds of animals kept together with other species in mixed-species exhibits.

Question:

I'm doing a research on warthogs in Zoos and looking for information about them in mixed speices exhibits. There are not much in germany, but how iis it currently in the USA or other countries in europe ?

Especially I want to know, what zoos do keep wathogs together with merkats. I'm sure, some zoo have this, but which ?

Thank you.

Banded mongoose are/were kept with warthogs at Chester zoo and Haller park zoo in Mombasa, Kenya.

0.2 Warthog with 1.2 Bat-eared foxes in San Diego Safari park
1.0 Warthog with 1.1.1 Cuvier's gazelle in St Louis zoo
1.0 Warthog with 1.0 Damara zebra, 4.0 Cuvier's gazelle and 4.0 Soemmering's gazelle at SDZ
3.0 Warthog with 1.6 Zambian sable antelope at SDZ

There is also a mix of 1.4 Warthogs with 1.4 Chapman's zebras and 1.3 Ostriches at Hagenbeck.

This site: Mixed Species Resources — AZA Ungulates contains a download link for a pdf that shows all mixed species exhibits involving ungulates (including warthogs) in AZA zoos and is definitely worth taking a look at.
