Can I keep wombats and koalas together?

Yes, yes you can. Make sure to give plenty of soft dirt for the wombats to dig in though.

What African species would be a good mix with red river hogs?

African Forest Buffalos are pretty common. Also have seen them with African Elephants and on the internet I found them with Nyalas, Bongos and Allen’s Swamp Monkeys.

Thanks! I will definitely in corporate some of those animals into an exhibit.

Edit: Although they are not from the same region geographically, would they get along with greater mouse deer as well?

I would say no. Mouse deer are delicate and the hogs can get a bit rough.

What animals would be good with Gigantophitecus?

would Sivatherium/Paraburnetia be a good combination? The only problem I can think of would be the Sivatherium crushing the Paraburnetia due to size differences, but I wanted another opinion.

Well Paraburnetia would be invisible in exhibit big enough to house Sivatherium. I would suggest some living african animals instead

As large and possibly intelligent apes, I wouldn't keep them with anything that they could attack or kill, meaning small mammals, birds, and reptiles are out. Large mammals like Bongos might be okay, but I personally wouldn't risk it. It might be best to keep them in a single species exhibit.

While that's not incorrect, I believe it is reasonably possible to house smaller primates with Gigantopithecus. This has been done with gorillas too.

Really, it depends on the temperament of the species, but since we don't know much/anything (or do we?) about it, you should be able to house them with something else.

That's nice idea
Perhaps some asian species like Snub Nosed Monkey or Macaques?

Snub-nosed monkeys are quite fragile, but macaques might work.

Could ducks and moerithirium be housed together? What other semi-aquatic animals could go with moerithirium?
