What about reticulated giraffes and nyalas?
Mixed species exhibit ideas
- Thread starter LowlandGorilla4
- Start date
Nyala are spooked quite easily, however, this box has worked with Rothchild's in Wellington, so it should work with reticulated.
The sectery bird would be a bad idea for mutlible reason. And the african buffelo withe rhino mix would corse a lot of problems
We've discussed this one before. Conclusion is yes, but only if the exhibit allows for the cheetah to have space to hide away from the rhinos

In a hypothetical borneo recreation, with sun bears, binturongs, orangutans and proboscis monkey, which animals could coexist with one another? I know the former two and the latter two shouldn't be an issue but would it be possible for all four, given enough room?
I don't think the sun bears and orangutans would be a bad idea. Binturong and proboscis monkey I have no idea if it'll work
Sun bear + Binturong in Burgers and Tierpark Berlin
Orangutan + Binturong in Frankfurt (and Hamburg, formerly)
Gibbon + Orangutan in Rio safari, Rostock and Osnabrück
Lion-tailed macaque + Orangutan in Kölner
Siamang + Orangutan in Zoo Berlin
No mixes of Binturong and smaller smaller apes, and no mixed of Greater apes and any larger animal (At least, in Europe)

Apenheul kept Springbocks together with the Gorillas
Dortmund keeps orang utans together with malaysian tapirs
And Binturongs were mixedwith multible smaler primates, like Dusky Langurs,Silvery Lutungs, Francois’s Langurs
Fair, but not with any two-legged animals, let alone ursids
tbh, no sane person would put a animal like a sun bear with orang utans ^^
Would this mix work in a medium-sized aviary?
Malayan tapir
Woolly-necked stork
Lesser adjutant
Painted stork
Lesser whistling-duck
Grey-headed swamphen
Purple heron
Malayan tapir
Woolly-necked stork
Lesser adjutant
Painted stork
Lesser whistling-duck
Grey-headed swamphen
Purple heron
As well as a mix of:
Asian water buffalo
Southern pig-tailed macaque
Siamang

Siamang
Also:
Great hornbill
Great argus
Rhinoceros hornbill
Indian muntjac

Rhinoceros hornbill

I just heard from someone in a different thread that in a paper they have been listed as suitable so yes. But it is the same as mixing cheetahs with rhinos, they need to be able to get away from the rhinos.
This would be fine, the first one should work as long as wooly necked storks aren’t aggressive but I don’t know much about their temperament.
I remember @GiratinaIsGod mentioning earlier that hornbills are difficult to mix but if it’s just larger species like great Argus the mix should be fine but they can verify.
In that case, would it be possible to move one of the hornbills into the Malayan tapir / Waterfowl aviary?
Sorry it wasn’t in this thread it was in your burgers Zoo thread where hornbills were discussed. I believe it was about the Burgers Bush and mixing hornbills in the bush so check there.
Well, this is a little side project separate from the Burgers' zoo project. And Burgers' does have Hornbills free-roaming in the Bush hall, but Bush doesn't have any large waterfowl, so I wanted to check here
Say, would it also be possible to add dusky leaf monkey in with these?
And how about a mix of:
Finlayson's squirrel
Greater Indo-Malayan chevrotain
Asian forest tortoise
As well as:
Lyle’s fruit bat
Sunda slow loris
Greater indo-Malayan chevrotain
And:
Sunda pangolin
Northern treeshrew
