I wouldn't really keep anything with bull or sand tigers, except for animals that are too small to be seen as a meal. Maybe some benthic species that could go unnoticed but IIRC both bulls and tigers do feed on rays and such.
If the sharks were babies, maybe you could try putting something else with them.

Does anyone think mixing Timor deer and Sulawesi babirusa would be a good idea? aim keen to try out unusual mixed exhibits (neither is very common in captivity in real Life).

Could Dusky sharks and Sandbar sharks live together or would hybridization be an issue?

I don't know if there's the chance, but you could solve that just by housing only females of both species.
Although I myself wouldn't keep the two together just because they look almost the same and they'd be hard for guests to tell apart, but that's just personal taste.

Other sharks, like blacktip reef a sharks could go as well as a big groper. I've seen both at least with a sand tiger shark :)

Can Bull sharks and Sandbar sharks share a tank?

Also, can anything be combined with Tiger sharks?
Dunno about the first, but for the second I've seen them combined with Whitetip and Blacktip Reef Sharks, Southern Stingrays, Groupers, Trevally, Barracuda, and other large reef fish.

Hey guys!
I'm working on a South America section for my zoo, and one of the exhibits is a kind of aviary. Which species should I add? Another question, can capybaras and Baird's tapirs be together? Thanks :)

For your South American aviary I would put in some white faced whistling ducks, scarlet ibis, a macaw species, timamou, maybe a currasow, black necked swan, green headed tanager, and picazuro pigeon just to get you started. You could probably need a few more passerines or perching birds to create eye movement.

And yes on the second combo.

Pudu/Macaws/Whistling Ducks/Ringed Teal is one combo possibility, could also do Scarlet Ibis/Black-necked Stilt/Whistling Ducks/Ringed Teal... Tinamous could be thrown into either combo, as could aracari/toucans/toucanets. All kinds of possibilities :)

Yes, Capybara/Tapir works :)

Nothing. Nothing at all. They are mean and get stressed easily.

-Pallid Bat, Mexican Long-nosed Bat, Mexican Free-tailed Bat
I would say so. All of them are in the same type of habitat, but make sure you provide flowers/nectar to the Mexican long-nosed bats. Make sure all of their preferred roosts are in the enclosure, and give them plenty of space to prevent fighting.

Could saiga and buffalo do ok together if they had lots of space to roam away from eachother? Same thing with aye-ayes and tapirs?
