I know about Sun bear and them, even Sloth Bear and them, but I read Asiatic Black Bear can be quite aggressive…

Yeah, I wouldn't put them with Asiatic Black Bears. Sloth & Sun bears are more docile.

@Consultant, Anton, and Dylan - Thanks for all the help. I'll separate the duikers from the hornbills when there are babies around.

Could these combos work:
-Western Lowland Gorilla (males only), Allen's Swamp Monkey, and Spotted-necked Otter
-Pygmy Hippo, Sitatunga, Southern Talapoin, De Brazza's Monkey, and Drill
-Western Lowland Gorilla, Sitatunga, Southern Talapoin, and De Brazza's Monkey
-Western Lowland Gorilla, Golden-bellied Mangabey, Red-tailed Monkey, Diana Monkey, and Patas Monkey
-Bontebok, Syke's Monkey, Vervet Monkey and Bushbuck

Personally I wouldn't combine that Many primate species together. Especially since they're so social and they each would need to create their own territories in an exhibit. The exhibit would have to be quite large (take a look at Denver Zoo's orangutan exhibit) to accommodate all those species.

Even then, adding multiple primates of any size to the same exhibit, like the 4th combination, is rather risky. Like Burns said, the more primates you add, the larger the space should be, and for those monkeys to cohabitate, they need a huge space. One or two species can be fine, but three would probably push it. For the 2nd and 3rd combo, you should probably take out the talapoin so they don't get bullied by the bigger primates.

The third combo would definitely not work. Combining gorillas with any animal besides primates is really risky. So take out the sitatunga and you're good.

I'm not so sure about the first, but I feel the otters would need their own island that basically seems like it's own exhibit.

4th is fine.

@Consultant and Burns - Thanks for all the tips. I'll remove Sitatunga from the third combo and decrease the primate species amount in the combos and yes the 4th combo is for a large exhibit. However I'm not really going to remove the talapoin since apparently they are good at swimming and would probably be able to escape the other primates. Apparently they've have been combined with Drills before as well. Idk if they'd (talapoins) work with the De Brazza's tho.

The second combination is done exactly in Bioparc Valencia, but then with northern talapoins. I'd give all of them the benefit of the doubt tbh, as long as the monkeys don't hybridize, go for it.

You can always use the Rotation exhibit concept, having this huge exhibit for all the species in tje combo you wish but only exhibiting 1, 2 or 3 together at the same time, never the whole bunch. You can also mix the rotation schedule, not following a logical order as long as all animals use the huge exhibit equally.

Would a combination of Black -tailed Jackrabbit / Cactus Wren / Greater Roadrunner in a large indoor exhibit be okay?

Would meerkat and African Spurred Tortoise be a good combo? I've seen a few pictures of this on Google Images and was curious about it.

It works at Diergaarde Blijdorp in the Netherlands so yeah, it's definitely possible :p

Malayan tapir, lion-tailed macaque (or Rhesus macaque), Indian/Chinese muntjac and Visayan spotted deer?
I know that the first three would work but I didn't found anything about a combination of Malayan tapirs with other bigger ungulates.
