Mixed species exhibit ideas

I don't many times I have to say this but the elephants could be mixed with Sika deer and Hornbill, NOT SUNBEARS!

I don't thinkelephants can be mixed with horn bills. You either would have one of the largest aviaries in hte world, or the hornbills would have to be pinned, which makes it likely that an accident happens

Oh ok
1) Keep Bears alone
2) Which animal can i keep then? other than sun bear

The only most succesfull and commen mix is with sun bears and bintorngs. There are 2 other succesfull mixes I know of. With dholes ans strangly with coatis. There where ofcorse the many bear mixed exhibits. But just alloneb ecause of the hybridations risk, is that not a good idea. Theoreticly would probelly a mix with monkeys or smal clawed otters work. in a large enough exhibit
 
Moone said:
Um I think it was Hornbills and otters- is that even possible?
Well ig u can give me a combo for either rhino hornbill, small clawed otter, or both together

Well technicly in the burgers zoo do both species coexist in the burgers bush. But it is barely a single exhivbit, but a giant space

They indeed don't eat hornbills, but they can still be aggressive to them

the sun bitterns have nothing to do with bitterns (in most language they are even named after rails or herons) They only have one relative, the Kegu from New Caledonia. There taxonomy is compleactd, with over a 100 years of discussion. Most put the tropic birds as there closest relatives. While birds like penguins, herons (like the bitterns), storks, pelicans and albertrosses being distantly related to them.

Hare with puffins and seals doesn't make sense. Hares are not aquatic so i don't know why you would do that. Just keep puffins with other auks like murres. Harp seals would be mixed with other pinnipeds.
 
Oh ok whoops

what abt a seabird a large aviary type thing?
- Atlantic Puffin
- Semipalmated Sandpiper
- Ruddy Turnstone
- Leache's Storm Petrel
