Mixed species exhibit ideas

Andean Condors, Turkey Vulture and either Crested or Striated Caracara in a large aviary

I’m afraid to see what the Caracaras would do to potential Condor chicks.

Andean Condors, Turkey Vulture and either Crested or Striated Caracara in a alrge aviary

It has existed for a couple of years in the Beauval Zoo. Then the Turkey Vultures and Caracaras have been removed as the (young) Condors were ready for breeding (and indeed raised chicks two times).

Full-grown American crocodiles and fiddler crabs - or other small crabs?

It would work, I think.
But the interest of this mix looks poor, unless there's a realistic mangrove habitat with typical vegetation and muddy banks.

From what I have seen, they are mixed in Berlin togther with Kingvultures, and they had multible times chicks with no problems from the caracaras

The mix works to an extent - young condors seem to work okay but adults are aggressive and pushy, and won't hesitate to throw their weight around. Turkey Vultures are usually rather meek and easily displaced even by birds their own size. Caracara are a fair bit tougher but I'd question whether mixing them with breeding condors is worth the stress and risk to them.

Anyone know if gharial could be mixed with Asian water monitor? (This may have been influenced by new Planet Zoo DLC announcement)

Tropical pack got announced earlier today.

All of those are mostly scavengers, I think it could work. Condor-vulture and caracara-vulture has also been done in the past.

Tropical pack got announced earlier today.

If I remember right it includes Red River Hog, Asian Water Monitor, Brown-throated Sloth, Fossa, and Lar Gibbon. Sorry off-topic of the thread

Would Red-Legged Seriema be able to be mixed with other species, like passerines for example?

They can be mixed with a variety of species, but bear in mind they are predatory and will eat small birds given half a chance.

hypothetical question, would the following mix work:
ring tailed lemur, black and white ruffed lemur, red ruffed lemur, and red fronted brown lemur, with spider or radiated tortoise inside as well? this would be in a huge exhibit as well.

Doesn’t sound like a problem to me, although I’d maybe remove one of the ruffed lemurs to avoid potential hybridization.

Mixes like this are relatively common if I remember right. But yes, as @Corangurilla said hybridization is a risk with the two ruffed species in the same exhibit.

on more idea, can australian king parrots, eclectus parrots, and sulphur crested cockatoo be in a mixed aviary together?

For me it's okay.
Most Australasian parrots can be kept together in a large aviary.

Spider Tortoise is too small, the lemurs could pick it up and then any number of bad things happen. Radiated has worked, though it needs to be monitored for aggression and the tortoise will have to be fed separately.

It is a hybridization risk, but overall it's typically pretty rare. Many facilities mix the two without issue, but it is worth being aware of.

ok thank you. id probably put radiated in with the lemurs and the spiders get their own little enclosure

yes, but usually they are batchlor groups, to eliminate the hybridastion risk
