They are pretty similar to the modern day Common Hippopotamus, so I would say what ever works for the Hippos should work for the Moeritherium. |

1. Asian elephants or Indian rhinoceroses with gaur? 2. Siamang with otters (I know it works with other gibbons but I wanted your opinion because Siamangs are bigger)? 3. Asian ungulates (deer or blackbuck) with gharials (since they are piscivores)? 4. African slender-snouted and dwarf crocodiles? 5. Echidnas and koalas? 6. Maned wolf and rheas? 7. African porcupines and african foxes? Species that I want to have in a multispecies habitat but I need suggestions 8. Southern Pudu 9. Red Panda 10. Ground Hornbills |

4. River rays and some big herbivore fishes? 5. I don't see why not 6. Don't know about wolf eating Rheas' chicks. Maybe Rheas and Mara/Anteater? 7. I would suggest not. Foxes would see it as a prey and would get hurt quite often 8. I would suggest some local birds 9. Muntjac. They did it in Parco Natura Viva. |

1. Make sure the gaur can get away from the elephants, somewhere safe where the elephant can't follow, and it should be possible. Not so sure about the rhinos, they are more unpredictable 2. I've seen small-clawed otters combined with orangs, so I think siamangs should work just fine 3. Probably not the best combination. Yes, gharials normally don't eat the ungulates, but they are still large predators who can easily kill the mammals 4. Should work just fine 5. Should work just fine 6. Probably not the best idea. Young birds would be an easy target for the wolves. Also, those species don't even live in the same habitat/region 7. Could work, if the youngsters are kept separated from the other specie 8. The pudu is a sensitive and delicate animal. On top of that, they are endangered. So better to be safe than sorry and give them a space of their own 9. Can be combined with all sorts of animals of roughly the same size. Muntjac is a common combo 10. A mid-sized African antelope could work, but again, keep the youngsters safe |

I'm trying to put some living animals to live along prehistoric ones in my zoo. I wanted to put Megalania in inside exhibit but I can't think of anythinf to pair with her that wouldn't be prey. On the other hand exhibit with just one lizard seems kind of empty |

8- Actually, Pudú can be combined with wooly monkeys (like it was/is? done in Apenheul) or smaller birds like tinamous or passerines and even with callithricids such as marmosets or tamarins if you keep them in an large enough aviary. |

If we take Komodo dragons as an analogue, I'm pretty sure there would be nothing you could keep with Megalania except for very small, arboreal birds (which would require a roof, in case you didn't have one already). |

It's an indoor exhibit. Birds will do. At least exhibit will look a little bit more alive |

As the combination with the Asian Elephant is up, what are real/possible combinations for Asian Elephants? |

I agree, maybe some cockatoos or other parrots would be ok. Of course now you run the risk of the cockatoos constantly annoying the large predator near them. Another idea would be a hybrid exhibit with some turtles like a pig-nosed, or maybe some barramundi or lungfish. On the other hand it might be just one lizard, but it is THE one lizard!

There best bet is a second Megalania, not sure if you can keep multiple komodos together though (presuming that they act alike.) either that or the small arboreal birds. not much else you can keep with a Megalania. |

Ok so Birds it is! Hybrid idea does sound good but I wanted to put some animals for diversity with Megalania being main beast. Hybrid is special addition that would act like seperate exhibit in this caseI would suggest some deers and herons/cranes Edited by Old_Dog, Nov 28 2017, 03:34 PM.

3. Mixing Tomistoma with anything large is iffy, they could get spooked and attack. They are fairly fragile despite their size and a large ungulate could easily kill one. They can be mixed with large turtles, birds, and lizards though. 5. Koalas are so arboreal and echidnas so reclusive that they would likely rarely interact, but it would't make much sense as an exhibit. It would end up being too large to properly observe either. 6. Absolutely not. Rheas can't even be kept with other ratites without risking serious injury or health concerns from long term stress, so there's no way they could be kept with wolves even if they weren't aggressive (by wolf standards). 9. Red panda are very aggressive, and not suited for mixed exhibits except with very large animals but then you would never see them. 10. Other large birds is probably your only good option, large mammals would out-compete the hornbills for space and anything small they will likely eat. Large waterfowl like egrets, flamingos or geese are probably your best options. |
