@Jannick and KoenZoo - Thank you for the help. I'm probably just adding Gerenuk to the combo. |

I would not risk valuable critically endangered mangrove finch with other animals. Tortoises and land iguanas should be ok together, but marine iguanas have special requirements. |

Would Flightless cormorants and maybe a species of booby work with this combination? Also, what special requirements to Marine iguanas have? |

Water, they require lots of water. And not just water but "cliffs" and mist and spray. Essentially everything you don't want to put small birds or tortoises in. |

Could I put Golden-naped macaw and scarlet macaws together? |

Maybe in a huge exhibit, but I would not recommend it. Scarlet Macaws do better in single pair or groups of birds the same size. Even then, one in the group can get picked on a lot. |

I've seen the two together with a lot of other birds. However I shall separate them |

Here are some more questions of mine. 1. Marabou Storks and African White-Backed Vultures. 2. Masai Giraffes, Ostriches, Great White Pelicans and Impalas. 3. Axis Deer and Indian Rhinoceroses. 4. Thomson's Gazelles, Secretary Birds, Lesser Kudu, Ellipsen Waterbuck and Gray Crowned Crane. 5. Scimitar-Horned Oryx, Addaxes and Gemsbok. 6. Bornean Orangutans and Northern White-Cheeked Gibbons. 7. Indian Gharials and Fly River Turtles. 8. Fulvous Whistling Ducks, Black-Necked Swans, American Flamingoes and Brown Pelicans. 9. Capybaras and Brazilian or Baird's Tapirs. 10. African and Asian Elephants. 11. White Rhinoceroses, Grévy's Zebras and Lowland Nyalas. |

2. Lincoln Park houses ostriches and giraffes together, they should be fine. Not sure Pelicans, but I'd assume the impalas would work too. 5. Probably not Gemsbok if you're looking at geography, they're a South African species and Addax and Scimitar Oryx are Saharan. Not sure about housing Scimitar Oryx and Addax together, I can't think of any zoos in the US that do but of course I could be wrong. 6. Brookfield houses them together, it should be fine if they're given ample space. 7. Again, going by geography no. Indian Gharials are, well, from India, and Fly River Turtles from Papua New Guinea and Australia. 9. I know some zoos house them together. I believe Fireplume has a picture in the database of them being housed in the same exhibit, so it'd be fine. 10. That's highly discouraged so no. Some zoos used to house them together but considering the different needs of the species the practice has largely stopped. |

5. Engel (2004) : "All oryx species will interbreed readily with each other and with addax (Addax nasomaculatus)." |

8. Black necked swans can be aggressive and pelicans will eat chicks of the other birds 1. Not sure, I know they can be together in the wild, but both species can be a bit aggressive 4. I don't know. 9. Yes. They are commonly kept together. Lots of zoos do iy |

1. should be fine ![]() To 10: Keeping both elephant species together increases the risk of an infection with elephant pox. So, don't do this

And the possibility of the two elephants interbreeding. It's highly unlikely, but we don't want another Motty situation, a short lived hybrid riddled with, and prone to health issues. Edited by Ulquiorra, Nov 19 2016, 02:39 PM.
