Animal Combinations; Mixed exhibits questions

Could a group of golden takins be kept with any animals besides other goat-antelopes like gorals or serows? In particular, are there any species of ground bird, deer or old-world monkey that would get along with them? Not all those species at once, mind, but any of them would do, and I'm open to suggestions from other groups of species.

Blijdorp kept them in the past with Rhesus Macaques. It went good most of the times, but I believe at least once a macaque was killed. A large exhibit would maybe work, because in Blijdorp they were kept in a very small (hilly) exhibit.

The other combination would be a large aviary with two vulture species and probably the male Indian Rhinoceros. Anyone knows if this would be possible? And if so, could I maybe add even more species to this exhibit (I don't know if Pygmy Hogs would fit in here)?
You could add storks or adjutants, perhaps in combination with other large waterbirds like cormorants or ibises (though I'm not sure whether they would work with adjutants).
Your other combination - langur, rhino, deer - sounds fun and very interesting, definitely doable; Schönbrunn allows Nilgai, Axis and Blackbuck to access their rhino exhibit. Just make sure you have somewhere the deer can retreat to where the rhinos can't go.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've got one combination with Indian (White-rumped) Vultures, Greater Adjutants and Indian Cormorants and the other with Golden Langurs and Sambar Deers for now.

A piece of toast and a terminator.

I'm planning a large safari exhibit. Can all these animals live together, and would they be found in the same area in the wild?

Grant's zebra
Southern ostrich
Bontebok
Thompson's gazelle

What else could I add? Would African buffalo and/or Blue wildebeest be a good idea?

Both the buffalo and the wildebeest could work. If you add the buffalo, make sure the exhibit is a lot larger than with the four current species, because that can give the species some area where they don't have to compete with each other.

Bonteboks lives in another region (South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia), while the Grant's Zebra and Thomson's Gazelle occur in the Serengeti-Mara regions (Tanzania & Kenya). Also the Southern Ostrich lives (as the name says in the Southern regions of Africa). The Masai Ostrich occurs in the same regions as the zebra/gazelle, the Southern Ostrich can be found with the Bontebok.

If you want to keep animals together from the same region (as you asked for in your post) you could add the Masai Ostrich (they almost look the same as the Southern Ostrich so you could use them ingame) and instead of the Bontebok something like the Topi (I think they would be a nice swap for the Bontebok) or the Bohor Reedbuck. Blue Wildebeest could work also, but if you want to be realistic, the common subspecies of the Blue Wildebeest lives in Southern Africa (so they would be a beter combination with the Southern Ostrich and Bontebok).

So now you have this with my suggestions:
- Grant's Zebra, Thomson's Gazelle, Masai Ostrich, Bohor Reedbuck, "Blue Wildebeest"
- Bontebok, Southern Ostrich, Blue Wildebeest

The African Buffalo can be placed with both combinations, but as Consultant said a large exhibit would be needed. The Greater Kudu, Common Eland and Impala could be places in both combinations as well.

I hope you've been helped with this information ;)

In addition to that, you can add various bird species to the combo as well. For example, crowned cranes, guineafowl, various duck species, ibises and storks. These would have to be either clipped, or in an aviary though.

I've seen vultures with all those animals in addition to Stephen's bird suggestions.

1. Is there anything that could share an exhibit with black rhinoceros?
Lotsa hoofstock work. I've seen them with Reticulated and Maasai Giraffe, Gemsbok, Springbok, Blue Wildebeest, Sable, Greater Kudu, Ostrich, Dalmation Pelican, and Great White Pelican. [San Diego Zoo Safari Park]

A couple of questions:

1. Would chain catsharks be okay sharing a tank with a number of somewhat larger but still relatively small species of shark, such as bonnetheads, pajama sharks and Port Jackson sharks? There would also be cownose rays in the tank, but I assume those wouldn't bother anybody.

2. Assuming you weren't breeding either species, could Asian water monitors share an enclosure with an Indian gharial or two?

1. I actually did some search for a combo like that, and it turns out bonnetheads require a water temperature higher than the limit for chain catshark, so I'd say no to them. I don't know about the others, behavior wise they could work except maybe the PJ shark might be too big and could outcompete the other sharks (ofc not taking temperature into account).
