I honestly don't think any issue would arise, at least from what I've seen...

Well I was thinking I might have seen it before myself but couldn't remember. But I was thinking it generally would be ok... Thanks guys!

Would Wolf's guenon, Schmidt's guenon, and guereza mix fine?

They should, they're all fairly peaceful animals that just do their thing, so long as you didn't have too many of either guenon.

What about giant sable, ostrich, Thomson and patas monkey?
And any other gazelle species which would fit?

Hello guys, I need ideas of what I can combine with:

1. Black footed (African) Penguin
2. African Brown Fur Seal

Problem:
1. I want something that is available for zt2 ;) I thought of putting white Pelicans to the Penguins.
2. I can't turn it into an aviary.

Pro: The exhibits bot are huge with several small islands.

Maybe someone got an idea :) I am open for suggestions.

I'm not sure about Pelicans, they are a lot bigger than the penguins. Perhaps some cormorant ? but I don't know if we have some species from the same range.

As for the seals, I'd keep them alone, maybe just some free roaming gulls.

1. Black footed (African) Penguin
If you care about 'range' (being South Africa?), some South African duck species would probably work as long as they are clipped (e.g. South African shelduck, Egyptian goose and probably African pygmy goose). Those and penguins never cause any trouble together. Pelican and penguin can be done, but not without the obvious risk.

Fur seals are better kept alone to avoid any accidents.

Do you think Collared Mangabey, Red-flanked Duiker and Southern Ground hornbill could work together?

I'm not so sure about the hornbill.

Would it be fine to mix Central American Squirrel Monkeys ans White Headed Capuchines ?

Thank you. ;)

I am not sure about your mix. Arent Capucins known as big bullies of other monkeys, especially when food is available? I would advice you mix your squirrel monkeys With more gentle species.

I know but I've read that squirrels and capuchins often mix each other in the wild in South America, they don't do the same in Central America because of different foraging behavious or something like that but I can't find a reason not to try it in captivity.

This is worth trying. Provide each species With separate enclosure where they can retreat And be sure the frailest species has more members in its troop, And you should be ok!

Can orcas be able to kept with small fish they would have no interest in eating and can Steller's Sea Cows be kept in the same exhibit as Sea Otters?

I am not sure about the orcas, even small fish like herrings are considered food, and anything smaller would simply go unnoticed in the obviously large tank (if it doesn't die by stress).
