Could a combo of Silvery Pigeon and Lar Gibbon work?

Don't gibbons eat eggs too ? I'm not sure if the pigeons would love that, assuming you have breeding pairs.
Although you could probably try to find a design which allows the pigeons to nest in a safe gibbon-proof area.

Silvery pigeons were rediscovered just some years ago And are in urgent need of an ex-situ program. In this case, zoos would probably keep them off-exhibit or at least not mix them With anything.

What species of Freshwater Turtle would go well with Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman?

I don't know if this has been asked before, but is there a suitable combination for Jaguar? Thank you in advance

I think a jaguar would probably be better left alone. A Hagenback exhibit would look nice though.

Thing is, we have a serious lack of South American freshwater turtle, we only have the Matamata and I don't know if that can be combined.
If you are fine with species from other regions, you could do with Yellow Bellied slider, or snapping turtles (I've seen them with dwarf crocs and larger caimans, but the turtles themselves were not huge).

I did not mean in that the Jaguar and the other animal will be togather in the same exhibit (Like Giraffes and Zebras, for example), I meant Something like that:

Then I'd say you could use some Pantanal fauna like capybara, tapir, anteater and/or rhea.
Perhaps even crocodiles or caimans if the climate of your location allows you to keep them outdoor.

I'll see if I can make some.... the Yellow Bellied and Florida softshell would do if not.

Thanks Furka

One that comes to mind (that I've seen) was Yellow-spotted Amazon River Turtle

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).
Okay. Would the Sea Otter/Steller's Sea Cow combo work then?

I'd think it could work, Sea cows are too large to be bothered by otters anyway.
Just don't put kelp in the tank.

It should work, but iirc the sea cows were surface-living animals so you'd need a gigantic habitat
