Can Winset and Fallow deer share an exhibit?

I've seen many small ungulates and large bovids share enclosures so I don't see why not. And on the last page with the camels, horses and foxes, the enclosure should be fine as long the young are seperated. However I wouldn't since both the camels and horses are rare animals and should be their own attractions, rather than in a combination exhibit if that makes sense.

What 2 types of crocs/alligators can go together? or is it best to keep them seperate?

Crocs should be kept separately, considering most of them are territorial and a few can hybridize.
Few crocodilians share habitats in the wild anyway.

Can a Dwarf Crocodile and a Red-Eared Slider or with cichlids go together?

Aim not sure keeping turtles in the same exhibit as Dwarf crocs is a good idea. I know several zoos have attempted keeping them with Helmeted turtles (Pelomedusa subrufa) but with aggression shown towards the turtles.

I think mixing them with smaller fish such as cichlids should be no problem.

I've seen plenty of crocodilians mixed with turtles. Spectacled Caimans and snapping turtles are housed together at the Vancouver zoo. for example.

Oliemeulen also housed Dwarf Crocs with snapping turtles when I went there. They also had a few small cichlids in there (convicts IIRC).

If Emperor Tamarins and Cotton-top Tamarins were in the same exhibit would they hybridize? If not could they combined with each other as well as Fulvous Whistling Ducks and Sun Conures?

Rome keeps both tamarins together (along with marmosets). Wouldn't keep them with the birds as they eat eggs tho, and definately not with something the size of a duck.

Does anyone know any combination for an African Civet? Finding that my civet habitat looks rather bare with just that species

Don't combine carnivores haha, downscale the exhibit or find new inhabitants if it's too large for just civets.

And humu and furka, I've seen tamarins and marmosets combined with all kinds of birds, ranging from curassows to cardinals and orioles... I think conures and ducks would be fine. Breeding would be harder, though if you supply nesting locations the primates couldn't reach that would solve it.

Can I combine Triceratops horridus and Triceratops prorsus?

Well, considering we don't know the temperament of either of them, I say you can. But be careful of inbreeding if they are truly that closely related.
