I've seen an African one with various Vultures and Secretary Birds, I've seen an African one with various Vultures and Crowned Cranes, Ground Hornbills and Hammerhead Storks, and I've seen one with various Vultures and Kites combined. I'd say vultures are very compatible

Capuchin would bother a Maned Wolf until he is disappeared - am I right? |

Probably Papageno. What mammals could I combine with the palawan peacock pheasant? I have a good idea for birds, but I think a small mammal would make the exhibit more interesting. |

Thanks. I now have a good idea for an aviary with birds and a mammal from the Philippines. |

Would these combo's work: -African Forest Elephant, Diana Monkey, Patas Monkey, Zebra Duiker, and African Spotted-Neck Otter -African Forest Elephant and Mandrill -African Bush Elephant and Springbok -African Bush Elephant and Chacma Baboon -African Manatee, African Spotted-Neck Otter, and Pygmy Hippo -African Clawless Otter, Sitatunga, Waterbuck, Lechwe If any of these combos wouldn't work can I get an explanation why please? Also what island animals, including the islands of Taiwan and Sri Lanka, can be combined with Asian Elephants? |

Definitely not to the last two. I don't know enough to judge the first couple, however. |

Bush elephants and baboons have been kept together, so anything similar should work, same with hoofstocks (wouldn't use duikers tho, they might be too shy). However, remember to use small and agile animals that can escape an angry elephant, and they must also have an area where the elephants can't go. |

@FP: Why notthe last two? Ok, the pygmy hippos are a risky combo, shy animals. But the otters should be combinable with large aquatic animals? Or with hoofstock? I wouldn't do the first one, otters can be pretty agressive towards equally sized species and IIRC there are records of them killing monkeys. About the Asian elephants: Sambar or axis deer might work since they are somewhat comparable to the African elephant-African ungulates combination. Indian rhinos might work too if the exhibit is large enough and if you count Indonesia to the islands, anoas could work too. But honestly, I'd keep the elephants alone. They are a major attraction for your zoo, so don't get the visitors distracted from them by some 'minor' animals. |

In one of my local zoos, Tierpark Berlin, there is a very big vulture/birds of prey aviary with the following animals: griffon vulture, Himalayan griffon vulture, cinereous vulture, hooded vulture, Rueppell's vulture, white-backed vulture, white-headed vulture, Egyptian vulture, common buzzard, bateleur, king vulture, American balck vulture, turkey vulture and lesser yellow-headed vulture So, I think you can combine almost every vulture species together

@ Stephen: All otter species are known to be extremely aggressive. The African Manatee/Hippo/Otter *may* be okay, but I wouldn't risk it, especially not if either species ever had babies. Plus African Manatees would be very fragile already, with us hardly knowing ANYTHING about their husbandry. Edit: Hippos and otters together would probably work just fine. The Otter/Hoofstock enclosure wouldn't work either, for the same reason. While the hoofstock could be kept together of course, the otters wouldn't work here, either. Plus, they're one of the larger species, and that's just asking for fawns/calves to be attacked. They probably would even harass adult antelope. Edited by Fireplume, Feb 20 2015, 10:30 AM.

I don't think there's any animal that's small and orangutan-safe. Especially if it's not an extremely large exhibit, so it's harder for the two species to avoid each other. |

I was thinking mouse deer. Would they work? |
