    I'm not sure why I post so many mixed species exhibit threads, but here's another. Does anyone know a mix species exhibit with the most number of species?

    I suppose that will be an aviary with a ton of birds mixed inside.

    I'd suspect a reef tank.

    The world's largest mixed exhibit by species number is likely not the largest by size. I suspect the above suggestions of either an aviary or marine tank is correct for species number, though who knows which one wins the title. As far as size goes, a mixed savanna or other hoofstock enclosure is likely the largest. Maybe one of the massive elephant habitats which mix them with hoofstock/birds?

    Could it have something to do with you like to reinvent the wheel?

    Heart of Africa at Columbus Zoo. No idea why this isn’t mentioned.

    San Diego Safari Park for terrestrial megafauna? Used to have more hoofstock per zone.

    Also the main open ocean tanks at Sentosa SEA Aquarium and Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium might be up there.
