I've seen Sea Lions with West Indian Manatee, without any problems. Sea Lions are a tad bit more aggressive and protective than Giant Otters...

I think you're underestimating just how large Manatee are.

Yes, but Giant Otters are also smaller than Californian Sea Lions xD

Honestly, this combination would be like the aquatic equivalent of combining Cheetah with Rhinos, and that is done in real life without any problems.

I once saw a ZT2 zoo with armadillos, maned wolves and giant anteaters. Would it really work?
Also, can I put moufflons, ibex, markhors and somekind of mountain sheep together?

The first combo: In the same exhibit? No, none of them could go together. In the same area? Sure, why not!

And I wouldn't do that second combo. Don't know why, it just doesn't seem a good idea to me.

again a moderate combo, but could scimitar-horned oryx go with ostriches, and could African buffalo go with smaller ungulates, say Thompson's gazelle?
And whattup joe, mah fellow kiwi :D

1. Yes, as long as male ostriches are kept away from the oryx in breeding season
2. Yes, as long as it's a large space, and the small ungulates have an area away from the buff

Will Armadillo work with any Sloth Species?

Hmm Armadillos and sloths live in different habitats! One a mighty rain forest while the other a plains, desert or Savannah! They also have different behaviors.... So I wouldn't make that choice but if you can pull it off by dividing lands like lets say a waterfall and river then you could make it work ;)

Sloths and Armadillo are very often combined in nocturnal houses. Honestly they'd barely even notice each other's presence. Also, certain Armadillo species (Nine-Banded, for example) live in very diverse areas, not only in scrub-lands and savannas, but also in rainforests, like sloth.

Oh yeah they'd definitely work together, no doubt about that. Also, I have seen them in semi-outdoor (aviary) style habitats. Personally, I hadn't thought about that combo and now want it in my zoo xD
