Thanks for helping me with the combos guys. @BBBurns-I'm pretty sure Orangutans would toy with the mouse deer causing stress on the deer. |

Alwetterzoo Münster have a group of Small-Clawed Otters with their Orangutans in the indoor exhibit. Other then that, all other animals that can or have been kept with Orangs are either arboreal (Larger birds, other primates) or large (Tapirs). |

Would Galapagos Tortoises and Galapagos Land Iguanas work? I'm using this in my zoo, but i don't know if this works or not. |

The main problem with that combination is that Galapagos Land Iguana aren't present in any captive environment other than research centers on their own island. The combination itself seems relatively plausible for me, neither are really harmful or really see a threat in the other, and Tortoises and Iguana of other species are often kept together. Main issue for mostly the Iguana would be that we don't know how well it'd adjust to a captive environment with a different climate, and that the entire exhibit would have to be sealed off (It'd basically have to be 100% indoors) because Iguana, though this one is one of the most terrestrial species, are very good climbers. |

What about Golden snub-nosed monkeys and Marmosets? |

The snub nosed monkeys would be too aggressive to the marmosets. |

Can I put chimpanzees and gorillas with orangutans? Also I would like to know if tigers and lions could coexist. |

I'd say no to any of those, they are all potentially aggressive animals and you'd only get a huge all brawl. Tigers and lions has been done by some facilities in China, and they always end up fighting. |

I'd agree there, though I guess if they weren't breeding - just individual lions/tigers, then I don't really see any reason it wouldn't work. It would however lead to ligers and tigons. |

Not even sure why you would even want to have any of the combinations mentioned above. Snub Nosed Monkeys and Marmosets is a bad idea, all the big apes together is a VERY bad idea, and Lions and Tigers are a bad idea too. Saying it'd lead to Ligers and Tions is a bit of an exaggeration however. IF you were to have the 2 species together you'd make sure it wouldn't happen (Sterilization, or just the much more logical solution of only exhibiting females of both species, as permanent males would only add to the agression), and even if both genders of both species are in the same exhibit inbreeding is rare. All Ligers/Tions in captivity were either completely artificial (Implanted embryos etc.) or because there was only one of either species (In the animal's eyes, necessity and lack of alternative I guess?). I really doubt 2 different species would inbreed when given better options, but even still that doesn't mean it should be done. Ridiculous combinations are very often not a good idea. |

I think that one would be ok. Marmots are pretty big and about the size of a hyrax. Snub nosed monkeys are about the same size as colobus monkeys whose combo I have seen before. It should work. |

Wouldn't risk it, Himalayan Marmots are very rare in captivity and an aggressive/hungry monkey might try to attack it, plus in general the primates would cause too much stress I think. EDIT: Got ninja'd by BBBurns, who indeed brings up a valid point. The difference between the animals is that Hyrax are very widespread (So more "expendable", though I dislike the word in this context), and generally have easier feeding habits and are more stress-resistant than Marmot species in general.. If monitored closely I think it could work, though.

Thank you two! And sorry about the marmot/marmoset fail! |
