Mixed Exhibits

Dude, stop using ZooTycoon for your husbandry guides. Learn the behaviors of the animals. Ask yourself questions like:
"Why should these animals be mixed?"
"What is the absolute worst that could happen?" And play out that scenario, because it will happen.
"What message will this send to the visitors?"
"Does it enrich the animal's lives?"

Thanks for everyone's help so far, here are a couple of others:

Vasa Parrots with Lemurs (probably Ruffed)? Could work, depending on aviary size. Ruffeds can be both very lazy and aggressive to other lemurs. Probably would work better with smaller Eulemur spp.

Tortoises with Lemurs? Cotswolds, Africa Alive and (possibly) Birmingham all have this mix in UK. Pretty common to use tortoise as an exhibit lawnmower.

Titi Monkeys with Tapir? Could work but aren't titis quite secretive. Better tapir mix would be with large or bolder primate species - spider, squirrel or capuchin have been done before.

Peruvian Pelicans, Australian Pelicans and a Gull species? Almost certainly been done before. However pelicans often housed with waterfowl, which has occasionally end up as pelican food.

Striped Skunk and Raccoons? Pretty sure this has been done plenty of times before. Important to have the arboreal space for raccoons.

Storks, Flamingos, Small Waders, Ibis and Ducks (its the storks I'm interested in)? Regularly kept together, except marabous!

Boas/ Pythons and Crocodilians? Accident waiting to happen.

Answers above.
 
What animals (mostly primates please) can mix with white cheeked gibbons? Siamangs? Lion tailed macaques ( I know they are aggressive)? Langurs?
