Striped hyena, medium sized exhibit, with it being thick in vegetation or rocks, indoor area, 1 pair for each exhibit, fence has to be 10 ft for a safe size.

Barbary sheep, no chain link, lack of foliage, large climbing structure, stables or overhang, any amount of animals as long as their are 1-2 males only.

Any good candidates for animals that are free to roam a zoo? I know peafowl and guinea fowl.

I'd go different and say
chameleons depending on where your zoo is.

Well my zoo is in California. I was thinking Brocket Deer, Muntjacs, or maybe Iguanas. Still it might be risky so I don't know.

I was at a zoo a couple days ago where you could pet and feed Blackbucks. Maybe those and Guinea fowls

No iguanas, because of no one wanting them as pets after this one zoo closed down in central America (these were free roaming), they then escaped the property and are now an invasive species there.

Well what if the zoo is on an island, surrounded by cold water. Aren't iguanas native to Central America also?

Sorry for not being specific enough, I meant the green iguana, which became invasive to this one island in Central America that only had cayman iguanas and a few other species of iguana. Are what if questions really important? Because they are usually just random, as an example: What if the hippos shoot lasers out of their eyes. Also, I'm not calling you out, I'm just asking if they are relevant. On a third note, even if it was colder water, the iguanas would still have a chance of making it to a continent by escaping and getting on a boat. This happens with foxes, cats, dogs, rats, mice, some birds, and many reptiles.

Okay. I'll just be realistic. No iguanas as free roaming animals then. :D

And I thought you meant mainland Central America. xD Not an island.

So here's my list of animals I can use as free roaming animals that I decided:
-Squirrel Monkeys
-Waterfowl
-Guinea Fowl
-Brocket Deer?
-Axis Deer?
-African Spurred Tortoise

Are there any other animals, besides peafowl and preferably have them from Africa or Latin America, I can use?
