I honestly doubt any of those would have any issues. Even with the birds of prey so long as it was a big enough enclosure, they'd be fine. |

About the okapi/bongo thing: The ones in Berlin aren't kept together. But the okapis are living together with red-flanked duikers, the same for Leipzig, Antwerp and several other zoos. @Stephen: 1. I thought about this as well and I would say yes. The horses and camels should be able to put up a fight if necessary. But I would build seperation areas for mothers with calves and for the foxes. 2. I think that shouldn't be a problem. The monkeys can climbe and could get in safety if necessary. 3. I'm not sure but there could be a problem between males of the two species. So I would say no. 4. No, there isn't a problem with this combo and even with all other birds of prey combinations. One of my local zoos keeps different vultures, bateleurs and buzzards together. |

That would definitely work. If they can handle bears they can handle horses and camels that are likely uninterested in them ![]() However I'd take the time to build a large mound of boulders and logs or something for the foxes to retreat to if a larger ungulate harasses them, and an area for the horses or camels vice versa. |

2. I was mostly worried that the macaques would make too much noise etc and the rhinos would get stressed out. Main problem is that it's hard to create a place where the rhinos can get away from the macaques... 3. You could be right there. I'll toy around with something hagenbeck-style then. |

Maybe you should go with Hanuman Langur then? In India, langurs and ungulates often cooperate to avoid predators. And they are less boisterous than macaques.

I was actually planning on having those elsewhere in the park, but I can switch them I suppose

2. Rhinos like to stay in water right? Maybe make an island or put a stream through the exhibit, which seperates it in two parts. The macaques won't cross te water. |

I would do that (and probably will with the langurs) but rhesus macaques are good swimmers

Duikers and Bongos have been kept together in Arnhem for years, seemingly without problems

Pretty sure that shouldn't be too much of a problem. They'd stick to completely different areas of the exhibit and if necessary the monkeys should well be able to steer clear of the hippos. |

Capybara, woolly monkey, tapir, pretty much any tamarin/marmoset I would guess. |

Thanks I know that they are tiny things and I wanted something small to go with them. So a monkey it is. |
