Mixed species exhibit ideas

Westcoastperson said:
There is a very similar mix at Living Desert of with no guinea fowl and hyrax instead of dik dik so that should work. I believe guinea fowl are larger than bat eared foxes and I’ve never heard of Bat eared foxes being particularly violent towards larger animals.

“In a big enough exhibit” no just no, don’t mix okapis with gorillas.

I think Bat-eared Foxes are largely insectivorous. They’re certainly not your typical opportunist fox.
Even if the Gorillas were totally benign and lacking in enterprise or a sense of humour, you’d end up with panicked and injured Okapis at some point.

I was thinking that. I just wanted to know if there was any singular way. Makes sense
 
I have an idea:

Secretarybird, banded mongoose, ground pangolin, and any east african hornbill species

This would be terrible for every inhabitant. The secretary birds and hornbills would attack the mongoose and stress out the pangolin. The hornbills and secretary birds would constantly fight. Even if the animals didn’t attack eachother the stress of that many co inhabitants would kill the pangolins.

Yep, all of that:). Also, one decent stomp from a Secretary Bird would finish a mongoose
 
_ Agouti (Dasyprocta azarae) Plush-crested jay (Cyanocorax chrysops)
_ Roseate sponbill (Platalea ajaja) Plumbeous ibis (Theristicus caerulescens) Fulvous whistling duck (Dendrocygna bicolor) Red shoveler (Spatula platalea)
_ Pampas Deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus uruguayensis) Greater rhea (Rhea americana)
 
Could tammar and bennett's wallabies share an exhibit, or would there be a hybridization risk? I'm thinking of a 4,000 sq. ft enclosure with wallabies and koalas, and want to know if it's possible to have multiple wallaby species in it.

That would be a hybridization risk I’m afraid. Maybe replace one with pandamelons or kangaroos.
 
Multiple aviary mixes:

African spurred tortoise, Helmeted guineafowl, Vulturine guineafowl, Chestnut-bellied sandgrouse, Trumpeter hornbill


Smith’s Bush squirrel, Yellow-necked francolin, Village weaver


Southern ground hornbill, Speckled mousebird, Common hoopoe, Lilac-breasted roller


Egyptian vulture, Bearded vulture, African white-backed vulture, Secretary bird


Huge aviary that needs a bit of an explanation:
Two huge aviaries, that are separated with a larger-hole net. Larger birds stay in their part of the aviary, but smaller birds can freely fly between the two aviaries

Aviary 1: Greater flamingo, African spoonbill, Spur-winged goose, Shoebill, Great white pelican, saddle-billed stork, Eastern grey-crowned crane, Hamerkop, Black-crowned night heron

2: Kori bustard, Goliath heron, Shoebill, African comb duck, Black stork

Flying between both: White-browed coucal, Blacksmith lapwing, Lilac-breasted roller, Hadada ibis, Glossy ibis, African jacana, African yellow-billed duck, Cattle egret, Violet-backed starling, White-faced whistling duck, Great blue turaco, Common hoopoe

How about:

1. Vicuñas and collared peccary
2. Mangoose species, bat-eared fox, aardvark and red river hog/common warthog

Would they be possible?

1 should be fine
2 is three burrowing animals and one foraging animal, the mongooses (mongeese?), foxes and aardvark should all get along. But the hogs would trample and/or dig up the burrows
