The Debate group is for serious stuff, not for ZT2 discussions. |

Are there any species I could keep with African Penguins? I had a cool idea, but I wanted there to be a few non-focus species for ambiance. |

I know they are kept with cormorants and waterfowl at times. |

I would think multiple species of sea birds? Puffins, pelicans and other penguins could work with them or maybe Auks, Gulls, Terns. |

Prior to the opening of African Grasslands, Omaha kept them with giraffes and zebras. Budapest keeps them with Harbour Seals |

I've seen them kept with cormorants, white pelicans, and brown pelicans, and alternatively with little blue penguins and rockhopper penguins. |

Artis is trying to keep them with Eiders and Californian Sea Lions. If you want to be a bit more geografical accurate you could combine them with Fur Seals instead. |

I believe fur seals generally tend to have a more agressive disposition than California sea lions, which are quite docile as far as eared seals go. Penguins are also a regular component of their diet in the wild, especially the Cape fur seal. I think the best course of action would be to keep it with other seabirds - cormorants, gannets etc. |

Yeah a lot of seals typically prey on penguins and other seabirds so I think your range of choices considering seals is small. Some seals have even been seen raping penguins. If you really wanted a seal with your penguins you'd have to find one that doesn't have penguins in their regular diet like Habour or Harp seals. |

I've seen them with wallaroos and many Australian zoos keep them with wallabies. |

Emus should work with just about any herbivorous marsupial: Wombat, Wallaby, Koala or Tree Kangaroo Probably not Kangaroos though because they can get territorial. Perhaps even a monotreme like an Echidna |

Pistoia keeps them with red-necked wallabies and red kangaroos, while Rome has them with Bennet's wallaby and Cape Barren geese. |
