Make sure there's places where the frogs can retreat away from the tortoises :P

Are there more lemur especies that can share a enclosure with a Ring-tailed lemur? I want to make a "Lemurtopia" thematic area in my zoo, but I'm a bit short of space.

Also, what species would you use for a Okavango Delta recreation?

Greetings!

Thanks for the comments about the tortoise and frog combo, but the cage was too crowded in the end for the tortoise to actually move around, so I separated them. (Actually Fireplume, this was in real life, what do you want to get? I may be able to give you some pointers)

I've seen brown lemurs and I think black and white ruffed lemurs with ring tails before. You could probably have bamboo, brown, and ring tailed lemurs though, even though they may not live in the same geographic area on the island.

Depends on how large you want it and what parts you want to represent, Okavango Delta has lots of generic African species (elephants, zebras, wildebeest, lions, giraffes etc etc) but also a few others like the marsh mongoose, sitatunga, African wild dog, hippopotamus, Nile crocodile and Nile monitor.

Birds are also very abundant but sadly very few have been made yet, especially small birds are lacking. Birds of prey you could use are the tawny eagle, bateleur, white-backed vulture and the secretary bird.

Yeah, I'm looking for a wetlands exhibit and I wanted some iconic animals from Okavango (apart from the hippopotamus). Thanks for the suggestions, I'd like to use one of those birds of prey.

Could Red Forest Duikers, South African Giraffes, and Nyalas go together?

Yes, just make sure the duiker have some shade spots and can go off - exhibit in breeding season for the Nyala because of the aggressiveness of the bulls.

Wich small birds can I combine with a James flamingo?
Preferably some water loving species.
Are there other South-American species who I can combine with a marsh deer?

Ducks! You can combine them with both! They are perfect!
And you could combine ibises and capybara with marsh deer.

Marsh Deer can share an habitat with capybara, Chilean flamingo, ibis, screamer and black necked swan.

Any suggestion to make an mixed exhibit of Everglades?

Honestly I can't think of anything "Everglades" that'd actually work together except for waterfowl, and then alligator/freshwater turtles. Besides that everything needs much more specific accommodations.

Unless we are talking about fish, in that case you should be able to combine Largemouth bass, channel/blue/flathead catfish and alligator gar (maybe bluegill too, but I'm not sure how big the average bluegill is and so if it's safe from the other fish).

Omaha zoo has American alligators, American crocodiles, alligator snapping turtles, common snapping turtles, and Florida gar. They used to have raccoons in there, but you can guess what happened to them x_x . They also have beavers, soft shell turtles,
Red eared sliders, small common snapping turtles, mallards, and Florida gar together.
