What is your favorite example of cohabiting you've seen in a zoo?

I was curious to what everyone thinks, I don't really have a favorite, but I have noticed tortoises of varying species with cotton top tamarins (I believe it was cotton tops tamarins, maybe not) in multiple facilities which I thought was interesting.

Surprised there hasn't been a thread for this (unless I missed something). I want to say that my current favorite is the Dallas Zoo "Giants of the Savanna" complex with elephants cohabiting with ostriches, giraffes, and kudus, really gives the vibes of being in a safari. I also liked the former cohabitation of African Penguins with Leopard Sharks alongside other fish at San Diego Zoo's "Africa Rocks", it is a bummer the they had to be removed/separated due to being harassed by the penguins.
