I know that Burgers Zoo in the Netherlands has a Malayan sun bear/binturong mixed exhibit:

That has to be pretty unique as I have never seen it before.

I saw that the San Diego Zoo Safari Park has an exhibit with Warthogs and Bat-Eared Fox together

I've posted before in this topic a lot of possible bear combo's. Foxes (a lot of different types) and wolves are very common and work with different bear species.

Even monkey species seem to work great:

KoenZoo is right.
Sloth bears and rhesus macaques can live together (as can be seen above) and also howler monkeys with spectacled bears. Coati and spectacled bear is possible, too.

These combinations are weird O_O

Is it okay if Desert Tortoise and Collared Peccaries live together?

I wouldn't try that.
Peccaries would definately eat eggs and baby tortoises.

The sun bear/binturong combination is done quite often and normally doesn't cause much trouble. No fatalities have occured as far as I know. Malayan sun bear and Spectacled bear are the only species I would personally combine with any other species.

Mixing sloth bears, quite an agressive species, on the other hand..

.. doesn't always work out perfectly. Or ''great'' as mentioned above.

Hmm... You're right.
How about Griffon Vultures and White Storks?

@Kevin: That case you linked to is interesting since in Leipzig there aren't any problems between the monkeys and the sloth bears. I think it depends on the characters if the specimens.

Btw, speaking about "weird" bear combinations I remember another one. In a German safari park they keep American black bears, kulans, hamadryas baboons, Bactrian camels and ostriches together...

Any idea for a Waldrapp aviary combinaison? I was thinking of White Stork, Marbled Duck, Glossy Ibis and maybe African Spurred Tortoise (with a separated area for the tortoise eggs and youngs). Any ideas to improve it? Change it?

Most of the bird species, from what I have began to learn, seem like pretty docile species, I think if they were monitored they would be okay.

I think that's a pretty attractive combination :)

San Fransisco Zoo has a pretty impressive waldrapp aviary. I would take a look at that. It's walkthrough.

Thanks guys! @ Burns : I will! :D

The Jambu Fruit Dove isn't really from Africa, but the whole combinaison should work as long as you offer a good ratio wetlands/dry land to your birds!
