It's been done before. Most lemurs don't usually hybrid besides brown lemurs because brown lemurs are extremely similar. Plus female red ruffs wouldn't let members of other troops mate with them and visa versa.

I don't think the Key Deer would be bothered by any birds.

Sure they're quite weak but they're very tame on the keys that they live on. They probably wouldn't mind the company.

@Burns Well, there's instances of Red ruffed interbreeding Black-and-White ruffed lemurs so I'd still say there's a risk to combining both species

But it's not a huge risk. The Omaha Zoo and Erie Zoo do that combo and so far there has been no problems. The thing to remember with hybrids is social animals like lemurs will breed first within their own group before breeding with another species. And this chance of hybridization is lowered with the lemur's matriarchal social system in which the females are in charge and can do what they please with the males.....just like the Kardashians.

So can any of these combos work:

-Seychelles Blue Pigeon, Echo Parakeet, Bernier's Teal, Long-tailed Ground Roller, White-headed Lemur, Red-ruffed Lemur, and Aldabra Giant Tortoise
-Red-lored Amazon, Caribbean Flamingo, Yucatan Amazon, Summer Tanager, Roseate Spoonbill, Grey-headed Tanager, Blue-crowned Motmot, Keel-billed Toucan, Great Currasow, Ocellated Turkey, Fulvous Whistling Duck, Green Iguana, and Central American Red Brocket Deer.

Toucan might be a bother to the smaller birds but with ample space no issues should arise

Thanks guys.

Another question can Ocellated Turkeys be combined with Yucatan Black Howler Monkeys?

As long as the eggs are removed from the enclosure I don't see why not

European Otters could be mixed with European Beavers, provided you keep them seperate when the beavers have young. The two species co-exist in the wild, now beavers have been re-introduced to the UK, and they generally don't interact with each other, but otters have been known to show interest in the beavers lodges when young beavers were present.

Also this,

Until seeing this vid the other day, I din't know maned wolves could be combined with anteaters.

and these,

Spoiler: click to toggle


Capybara, Red-necked Wallaby and Humboldt Penguin mixed, the zoo also has a pair of Mara in the enclosure, but I couldn't find any pics of them mixing with the other species.

In Kelowna BC, grant you it's not an actual zoo but just a park, has pigs, capybara and emus together

I temporarily have a female Aoudad (Barbary Sheep) in staying with our small, gentle, male Reeve's Muntjac. Would it be safe for both animals if she stayed with our Muntjac until her enclosure is built? And if we wanted to temporarily house our Fallow Deer doe in with them, would they all be able to live peacefully?

Those are all very peaceful animals. I would not see any problem with this mix.

Not quite. I've been to that little place, which is more of a petting zoo. The young emus, wallabies, chickens, peafowl, pot-belly pigs, and a few domesticated parrots are kept together in the main petting zoo area. The capybara are kept separate, but this is probably more to do with petting issues than interspecific interactions. The same goes for the adult emus and goats, which each have their own little enclosure. The sugar gliders also have their own cage, for obvious reasons.

Can you keep Gerenuk with larger ungulates like Zebra and Eland?

Zebras and gerenuks have been kept together in Oregon Zoo and Denver's master plans include zebras and gerenuk together. Couldn't find much on elands but they've been combined with a plethora of hoof stock, so I'll assume they'll be fine together.
