Mixed species exhibit ideas

[Haliaeetus]

In a large aviary:
Brown lemur, Black-and-white ruffed lemur, Ring tailed lemur, Madagascar flying fox, Red fody, Common hoopoe, Madagascar blue pigeon, Madagascan partridge, Crested ibis, Blue coua, Crested coua, Bernier’s teal, Hamerkop, Seychelles giant tortoise and Helmeted guineafowl

For me, all the bird species, the tortoises and the bats can live together.
I'm more dubious for the Lemurs that can stress the birds and eat eggs and chicks.

How about a mix of Madagascar pond-heron, Giant coua and Spider tortoise

OK. I think it could work.

Would an alligator be able to be kept with a turtle?

Milwaukee County Zoo keeps Chinese crocodiles with red eared sliders

Could anything be kept with a moose

technicly yes, but only in a large exhibit. But with mooses being easly spooked and also potentially agrassive, it would be a bad idea with most species. Many something like turkeys

Could anything be kept with a moose

It entirely depends on what species. For most non aggressive ungulates it’s fine. No large carnivores. Small carnivores aren’t suggested. Most birds are fine except for Canada geese. There have been a few moose questions in the other parts of this thread you can see for more info.

Milwaukee County Zoo had Moose, Mule Deer, Turkey and Sandhill Crane together

Toucans are known to prey on bird eggs and nestlings so...

Does that include the smaller species as well?

 

[Edleif]

A hybrid between an anteater and a sloth would be interesting

 

[Bengal Tiger]

As in smaller species of birds?

We don’t have the tech for that yet afaik. Either way, it would be strange and unnecessary, also this is the wrong thread for that discussion, maybe save it for later.

Smaller toucan species. So toucanets and aracaris

Rhe problem is space. The Anteater needs a lot of more space. The mix would work in larger multi species exhibit, to make much sense. Or you would waste space. Something like smal new world monkeys, or smal birds. So that the aboreal space gets used more.

Would a mix of Cuban Hutia and either Lesser Antillean or Hispanolian Rhinoceros iguana work?

Would a birds of New Zealand walk through with kiwis, kakapos, keas.

Well, kakapos are impossible to obtain and Kiwis would be way too stressed out for a walkthrough

I think the very loud kea's would also stress out both the ground birds

Ok thanks

Would a red river hog be able to be kept with a warthog?

It seems feasible.

 

[Mr Gharial]

Would a red river hog be able to be kept with a warthog?

I'm fairly certain that will be fine
