What is the most diverse mixed species exhibit?

After a quick internet search I have also discovered that Lemurs have had access to this enclosure before!

They also used to have a south american exhibit featuring brazilian tapir, spider monkeys, brown capuchin, ducks, geese, capybara and even andean bear and asian short clawed otter. I believe giant anteater featured at one point also.

I remember this, but it was during a time when the zoo's animal welfare was really bad. I definitely don't think the bears should've shared an enclosure with capybara and tapirs.

Marwell's Tropical House has to be up there:

-Crested Wood Partridge
- Sclater’s Crowned Pigeon
- White-Naped Pheasant Pigeon
- Nicobar Pigeon
- Brazilian Tanager
- Asian Glossy Starling
- Fischer's Turaco
- Yellow-Throated Frog
- Burmese Mountain Tortoise
- Lesser Goliath Beetle
- Linneaus' Two-Toed Sloth
+ an open-top aquarium home to over 2500 fish.

It also previously held Javan Mouse Deer.

That's birds, Mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects all in one enclosed space.

If you look up "South Lakes Safari Zoo bear" on youtube, there's a video of a bear chasing a tapir through a lake.

Zoo Granby has giraffes, zebras, ostriches, and some antelope living together in the same exhibit. There is also another exhibit of rhinos, marabou stroke, red river hog and wildebeest. I think it is pretty diverse exhibit

I believe a tapir there was killed by a bear….

Only a matter of time! But seriously what were they thinking housing bears with capybara and tapir? I believe lemurs are still kept with bears there as part of that Worldwide Safari thing.

What do they expect when you mix a bear with a tapir, obviously one of them is going to get injured! Also, I bet the tapirs were under a load of stress!

It just proves how unfit David Gill was to run a zoo! There was no thought put into those exhibits. It was assumed that animals from the same part of the world would automatically get along for some strange reason. Did they not stop to think that tapir are killed by bears in the wild? What was stopping them from housing antelope with a pride of lions????

Burgers zoo seems to have only 3 groups: lizards (2 families), birds (impressive 17 families or so) and bats in the common area. Any zoo which has mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish sharing one space?

The Living Rainforest does afaik I think.

Technically every mix-species exhibit is infinitely diverse. Apart from the obvious species *meant* to be exhibited, there must be tons of insects, small local wildlife and microorganisms that call the exhibit home.
