I think that as long as the ravens are trained and know they can get food in the exhibit they'll stay so you wouldn't need to cover it. The Tower of London has like 7 of them that stay on the property because they get fed often. They are pretty smart birbs.

What Australian animals would be compatible with a cassowary? I know they can be aggressive when they feel threatened, but is there anything that they would tolerate in the same exhibit as them?

According to this manual most animals except small birds or waterfowl will be attacked. http://www.australasianzookeeping.org/Husbandry%20Manuals/Cassowary%20Husbandry%20Manual%20_ARAZPA.pdf

In a zoo here in Italy, the local black swan pair nested in the male cassowary exhibit without him showing aggression.
The staff believed it's because the male was more tolerant of the chicks since he'd be the one taking care of a brood, and that if the swans had nested in the female cassowary exhibit she'd have been mopre aggressive.

Can anyone tell what animals lived alongside Dwarf Sicilian Elephant. I want to make a Paleo Park zone for the but I don't know any other animal from his place and time

Giant Swans I know, but your best bet is to google what animals lived on Sicily at the time.

I googled it earlier but there's not much about it I could find. Giant Swans were mentioned, but I doubt there are any for ZT

Like FP said giant swans would be one of the most iconic species. Sicily also had a species of dwarf hippo but like the swan it isn't in ZT2. Some modern species would be hooded crows, vipers, hoopoe, and flamingos.

What would make for a dynamic exhibit with gorillas? What specific small primates would not make an agressive mix? Can gorillas be mixed with ground birds?

Colobus monkeys should work fine with gorillas IIRC.
Not sure about ground birds, the only instance I've seen a gorilla and bird in the same exhibit was that video of a silverback being chased by a Canada Goose.

I've sen gorillas combined with southern ground horn-bills, diverse waterfowl, Roloway monkeys, colobus monkeys, mangabeys, De Brazza's monkeys, sitatungas and owl-faced monkeys.

The Sicilian dwarf hippo hasn't been made AFAIK but Bunyupy has a Cyprus dwarf hippo on his site.
If you don't care about total accuracy I'd reckon no one would notice if you used those instead of the Sicilian species, they're quite similar.

It could work, but I don't think it's a good idea. There's a risk of hybridisation, they look somewhat similar so visitors can be confused as to which animal is which and also they don't share the same habitat in the wild.

Yeahhhh I wouldn't either unless it's an absolute MASSIVE enclosure.
