Animal Combinations; Mixed exhibits questions

I'm wondering which animals I could keep with crocodiles together? I know that birds (but no waterfowl) and fish work. And surprisingly also dwarf mongoose and Nile crocodiles work in Basel.
So, how far could I go?

I know turtles and crocs work, I've seen Johnston's Crocodiles with a bunch of Australian species and Gavials with Fly River Turtles and a few others.

I don't know but as I can see you want to work with American species? In European Zoos I've seen them in walkthou exhibits keept together with red deers, sika deers, mufflons, hares and also with boars.
Not just American species since it will have wallabies. :P

Would you look at me? I'm setting records.

Stupid question.

Okay, so for the prehistoric zoo contest I'm not sure if this combo would seem too unrealistic, but I find it badass. I've had many nice combos between mosasaurs, prehistoric sharks, pliosaurs, and icthyosaurs. In the past I've exhibited Tylosaurus/Hainosaurus with Megalodons, and they stalk each other every once in a while but they never eat each other.

People may not vote for the zoo if they find it too crazy.

So basically, what "realistic" combos could I pull off with those animal groups mentioned above?

Only mosasaur/shark combo I'd trust is Ptychodus with a smaller mosasaur like Platecarpus or Globidens.

The sharks I have are: Megalodon, Hybodus, Helicoprion, Cretoxyrhina, Squalicorax, Otodus, Cladoselache, and a whole bunch of sawfish.

Ptychodus from Imago, right? Squalicorax wouldn't work eh?

Not sure, we know it fed on other marine (and non) animals, and we can't be sure if it was scavenging or active predation.
Ptychodus is a benthic shellfish eater, so it shouldn't trouble the mosas if they have enough space.

Alright, that helps. Thanks.

What combos would work between plio/plesiosaurs & icthyosaurs?
Cryptocleidus & Ophalmosaurus work of course, but I need something different.

Small sharks, fish (A designer on I believe ZH has made tons of extinct fish) and the generic ammonites.

Uhhh I think that should work, when I saw Kingfishers they were kept with some other birds. So I think you're good.

1) it should
1) don't know, but california sea lions have been kept with harbour seals
3) nope, tiger barbel are fin-nippers, not something to put together with fancy fish like swordtails.

1. Yep, the National Aquarium has triggerfish and sea turtles
2. I wouldn't risk it. Sea lions are aggressive and like to pick on the smaller ones. You wouldn't want a baby monk seal to be chased around by a juvenile sea lion.

I've been making a zoo that uses most of the zt1 animals and I have put peafowl in with Asian elephants, don't know if that would work realistically.

would zebra and southern ostrich work?

,thanks in advance :)
