(My father was actually attacked by one xD)

I'd also get rid of the Laysan Teal, they're small and really would probably just get attacked by the lemurs.

I'm leaving out the birds, since pretty much there would be a aggression from both sides.

That seriously surprises me xD I have been to thirty something zoos and have never seen a mixed habitat xD

But still, I don't think it's a good idea to have the lemurs with the birds. That's just asking for injury on one side or the other.

(genuinely have no idea about the lemurs and wallabies)
The Edmonton valley zoo has a large complex where various lemurs were kept. I don't recall of this was temporary or not but when I was there the outdoor area was shared with a pair of Pelicans :)

I have also seen a exhibit with ringtailed, redfurred and white and black furred lemurs. They looked pretty happy to me! c: (so what I am trying to say is that it is possible)

While I certainly don't think this combo is a great dea; SLWAP in the UK combines like 7 species of lemurs with capybaras, emus, wallabys, prairie dogs, kangaroos and a lot of other shiz in one massive walkthrough.

Wouldn't recommend it, however that's not because of the lemurs.

That's one hell of a combination.

Also, I've seen lemurs kept with several large tortoises before, too heavy for them to move, pick up, or roll.

Singapore Zoo has their Ring-Tailed Lemur in Fragile Forest, an aviary dedicated to tropical areas around the globe. In it are (or were, at least) also Tree Kangaroos, Flying Foxes, Iguanas, Sloths, Lories, Mouse Deer, many bird species and even Butterflies.
Duisburg Zoo has both Ruffed Lemur and Ring-Tailed Lemur in one exhibit.

I think you're fine in combining them with near anything, even birds ;)

The Toronto Zoo keeps ring tailed lemurs with grey crowned cranes during the winter months. At first the lemurs would try to jump on the cranes, but now the two species just ignore each other.

Ok, I think he gets that lemurs can go with other animals.

Well I might leave in the Lays an Ducks and Long-tailed Ground Rollers then. You guys had inspired me though on what I might do.

Hi, do you have any idea of a mixed-species enclosure for Bawean Deer? I know it is a secretive, critically endangered species, mostly nocturnal, but I would like to have cohabit with at least an other animal.

And for Bornean Orangutan? They will have a Siamang pair as neighbors, but I wonder if they could cohabit with an other species directly in their exhibit.

Thank you!

I wouldn't combine Bawean Deer with anything bigger than them, nor with any primates or agressive birds. Not a whole lot remains then, unless their exhibit is in an aviary, but I mostly wouldn't take the risk since they're very rare in captivity.

Bornean Orangutan I have seen kept with Sumatran Orangutan, Otters and Gibbons. I've also seen pictures of Tapir with Orangutans.
