I've seen a Snowy owl and a Spectacled owl together at a bird of prey centre. |

Okay, I did misunderstand what you meant by that sentence, sorry for that. Genuine question though, why would a tank with arapaimas + medium sized fish not work, if a tank with arapaimas + big sized fish + medium sized fish would? |

Yes, that confused me as well. If a tank doesn’t have the second large fish in addition to the aripama, then there would technically be more room for the aripama and medium fish. |

The presence of large fish forces other large fish to weigh every action carefully, after a while they become used to each others presence and this becomes habitual. Large fish with medium or small fish won't develop these habits and will instead gobble down all of the smaller fish as the opportunity presents itself. |

Would a combination of mongoose and lemur/sifaka work? |

Depends on the mongoose but Plzen does that with Ring-tailed mongoose/Red-bellied lemur and White-headed lemur/Narrow-striped mongoose. Both are euplerids, not mongoose but if by mongoose you mean true Herpestids, I still think it would work (although not geographically).

Yeah, I'd agree with FR. I don't think you'd have issues with it, I feel like the lemurs could hold their own against mongoose if they had to. I'd say go for it.

In the mammal aviary, there is a pair of white-headed lemur and Narrow-striped mongoose: http://www.zoolex.org/zoolexcgi/viewpicture.py?id=1362&pic=site |

Can a caracara be placed with a prehensile tailed porcupine? I've never heard about any zoos having this combination. Image from Zoochat under the Tautphaus Park Zoo Edited by Cole12345, Mar 1 2018, 09:56 PM.

Anybody know if geladas would be good with neighbors? I'm thinking of doing a gelada + Walia ibex exhibit, but my gut tells me primates are jerks. |

Gelada with Nubian (I think) Ibex has been done. |

Sure enough, it has--at least twice, with hyraxes and birds to boot. Thanks! |

Can echidnas, cassowaries, and platypi be put in an exhibit together? |

Most definately not for several reasons: - they all have different requirements, and it would be hard to make an exhibit where you can see all of them. - echidnas and platypus are pretty hard to mantain, so it's best to just hose them in their own dedicated exhibit. - cassowaries are aggressive and could kill the other two (really not worth the risk, considering point 2). |
