Gharials and Otters could probably be done, but you have to watch out with babies of both species.

Dromedary and Gemsbok is a completely logical combination, I'd say go for it.

I agree you Vision but for the otter and the Gharial he had said two species of otter i'm agree for one but for two there is a risk of interbreed

Where I'm from, "/" means or and "&" means and.

Even if the 2 species would be together, AFAIK there haven't been any Oriental small-clawed otter X Eurasian otter hybrids, certainly not semi-natural ones. Hybrids are very rare. I'd be more concerned with rivalry between both species.

I would never, ever combine otter species. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

However, for the Dromedary/Gemsbok combination, why not just use Arabian Oryx? They're actually found in the same place and have the status of being endangered and whatnot. Another choice could be the Addax, a native of North Africa.

If Zoo Tycoon 1 taught me anything, Dromedary Camels and Gemsbok work perfectly fine with one another. Sure enough you can add other desert based antelopes in there, but those two are the first pair that spring to mind that work perfectly well with one another.

@ Burns: YES THAT'S TRUE WOOOHOOOO! Totally forgot about that lol.


I suggested those two as Dromedaries and Gemsbok aren't found in remotely similar places geographically speaking :)

Personally I would use black backed jackals. It's creative and educational.

... combining camels and jackals? Why would that be a good idea?

I suggest Dromadery Camels,Dama Gazelle (Most big gazelle in the world),Arabian Horses (A herd of Horses with Camels is cool) and if you have a lot of space you can add Arabian Oryx.

Where did you get this information ?
I visited Vienna in April and they have neither camels nor jackals...
You can take a look here, there are listed all current and former holdings of animals in all European zoos: http://zootierliste.de/en
