... The Corsac Fox most certainly DOES live in deserts, but Red Fox is a viable choice too.

I wouldn't put anything in with gobi bears. They are already rare why risk having one of them get a disease from another animal.

If disease is really the thing you're worried about, then you could be saying none of the combinations in this topic ever would work out. Usually a zoo's intention is for the animals not to get sick, combined or not, and if they do there's this thing called quarantine.

Bears and foxes go well together and are some of the few carnivores that can, so I'd say go for it.

Can Shoebills and hippos be put together?

I don't see why you couldn't. I say yes.

They live and breed in much the same area and in general hippos care very little about birds, while shoebills are big enough to not get accidentally trampled by one. The shoebills might be slightly wary but not enough to cause any significant stress, so I wouldn't see why not.

I would make an area for the shoebills to get away from the hippos though. That way they don't become stressed.

I was thinking of this:

Golden Lion Tamarin/Collared Aracari/Brazilian Agouti

I'll use it at my zoo :D

I would take the aracari out or only have 1 in there. Tamarins eat bird eggs.

Brazilian Tapir/Capybara/Crested Screamer/Guanaco

You can do that one. A zoo in real life also added rheas to that mix. :)

If you want you could also add a few bird species in like andean goose or white faced whistling duck

This link shows pictures of the other combination.
