I would keep the cranes in an other exhibit or if you wish to houe them with Tibetan animals, why not Thorold's deer or just the Yak? Chiru thrives in cold steppe, an arid habitat, while cranes need water. Yak and Thorold's deer are however often find in meadows and alpine grasslands, near water. ;)

Would these combos work?

1. Triceratops, Ornithomimus, Alamosaurus

2. Yutyrannus, Beipiaosaurus, Confuciusornis, Microraptor

3. Edmontosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus

4. Spinosaurus, Parallititan

5. Scutosaurus, Lycaenops

I don't know that much about dinosaurs/extinct reptiles but all these enclosures have to be big.
Criticism:
1.Maybe, Look up the Dallas zoo giants of the savanna exhibit but add another exhibit, They should all be able to connect.

2. No no no no no, All these animals should be in different enclosures, the yuty and beip would be too aggressive, and if you had the micro or conf, the enclosure would need a giant aviary or dome. You could do a hagenback style exhibit with all of them in separate enclosures (the micro and conf might be too territorial to each other, so provide two different aviaries.)

3. Maybe... the Edmontosaurus might be bullied by the pachy, but that doesn't mean it could stand it's ground.

4. It would be hard to say, considering we don't know for sure if spinosaurus was aggressive to parallititan, and if the para could possibly defend itself and on purposely kill the spinosaurus. They would have to have a very very large enclosure with a lake and potentially a field and forest and a gate inbetween the two.

5. No, this would have to be another hagenback style exhibit. The scuto would most likely be aggressive to the lycae.

All these species have special needs and require a lot of attention (the Red Panda less
So), So i would not House them together. Giant pandas especially, since they are know to be fussy and difficult to maintain in captivity.

For the Red Panda, you could go with muntjacs or Tufted Deers, maybe even some terrestrial birds (be careful though, they could eat the eggs).

There are no wild yaks kept in captivity nowadays (however every now and then one seems to turn up in a Chinese zoo), so the species kept in zoos is the domesticated yak. As the name suggests, this yak is not all that agressive and therefore combinating them shouldn't cause much problems.

No idea about wild yaks. Guess that would work though (well they can't be much worse than cape buffaloes which are ometimes put together with antelopes as well).

I have a question now, what if I had an exhibit for mammoth, elasmotherium, megaloceros, a extinct camelid, and caribou. The exhibit would have separation gates with three enclosures and three indoor housing areas.

The latter three would probably work fine if they had their own space (For breeding season or something, wouldn't want an Irish Elk goring a caribou) but modern day rhinos and elephants are known to be aggressive to other animals, especially one another. So I would take the mammoth and elasmotherium out.

White and Indian rhinos can be kept with other animals, if the proper cautions are taken.
But yeah, I'd keep the mammoths alone.

Ok thanks, yea I was worried about the elasmotherium and mammoth, but I have seen white rhinos and antelope/ungulates together (I thought from them both being graders, they may have the same temperament). I've seen female African and Asian elephants together with ugulates also. The separation would be poles short enough and thin enough for the camel, mega, and caribou to fit through.

No, the spectacled bears diet also includes dear , livestock among other animals besides eggs and fruits.

Sorry Casey, the bears could potentially eat the coat's

EDIT: what other animals could fit around the exhibits then, I already have the predators (homotherium, grizzly bear, and maybe grey wolves), what about a certain species of horse or pig.

Spectacled bears have been kept with coatis quite often. Its no problem really, as the posts above suggest. Coatis are much faster anyway. Just make sure to add several places the bears cannot access in the enclosure. Many zoos have done it; Antwerp, Artis and Chester are just a few examples.
