Why is that unusual? They live together in the wild.
Unusual/unique mixed exhibits?

4th grade? How young are you? I was in college when that happened.
Its sister exhibit as well will eventually and with Bulls.
I'm assuming you mean Birmingham Zoo's Trails of Africa.

Yes, tschandler71 seems to be the unofficial spokesperson for his zoo's one claim to fame. He seems to mention it every time something even remotely relevant comes up.
And whenever it seems Dallas is getting "too much" praise.
Here are 5 odd animal combinations that I recently witnessed on my 24 day/81 zoo summer road trip:
Bearizona = Red Fox/Swift Fox
Austin Zoo = Bobcat/Serval
Keepers of the Wild = Bobcat/Eurasian Lynx
Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari = American Black Bear/Olive Baboon/Rhesus Macaque
Out of Africa Wildlife Park = African Lion/Bengal Tiger/Black African Leopard
Plus there were several drive-thru safari parks that had Ostrich/Emu/Rhea combinations.

In Kaunas zoo, there were wallabies with a lowland tapir.
So I haven't quite gone through the entire thread, but Lowry Park Zoo (or ZooTampa if we wanna use the stupid new name) has gharials mixed with Tufted deer. I recall Visayan warty pigs living with the deer at one point as well, but I think they have their own exhibit, now. The current African wild dog exhibit used to hold Striped hyenas and cheetahs, I don't remember why the hyenas left but the cheetah pair died pretty recently. Apparently African elephants and Impala is weird, I didn't know elephants were usually kept with only their own species. Warthogs are mixed in with the elands, kudu, and birds for some reason.
Also, Alaska SeaLife Center and Denmark National Aquarium both have seabird exhibits with North Pacific wildlife underwater as well (rockfish, sculpins, etc.). Alaska SeaLife Center even has a Bering wolffish in the seabird exhibit. At Sea Life Helsinki, I noticed a few more odd species being put together, such as Banded archerfish with a Bluespotted ribbontail ray.

Hogle Zoo does this too.

A lot of zoos/aquariums mix seals and sea lions. Beluga Whale and seal mixes are around as well.
