Animals that don't have in the game and that can be mixed with others already in the game?

Often in zoos they mix up certain animals that get along very well and I thought that would make a great DLC.

1. King penguin: Can be mixed or gets along very well with Rockhopper Penguins

2. Peacock: Can be mixed or gets along very well with Golden Pheasant

3. Giraffes and Zebras and Ostriches: Can be mixed or gets along very well with Cobe de Lechwe or Royal Crane or Gray Pelican or Marabout

4. Dwarf Hippopotamus and Bongos: Can be mixed or gets along very well with Royal Cranes

5. Little Red Panda and White-backed Tapir: Can be mixed or gets along very well with Muntjac de Reeves

6. Baird's Anteater and Tapir: Can be mixed or gets along very well Capybara or Mara from Patagonia
 
One animal that can be mixed with a lot of other species already in-game is the red river hog. I have found reference to them being kept in real zoos with: African elephant, mandrill, Western lowland gorilla, bonobo, meerkat, plains zebra, Southern white rhinoceros, hippopotamus, pygmy hippopotamus, nyala, bongo, Thomson's gazelle, African buffalo, okapi, reticulated giraffe and common ostrich.

Equally at the same time, I'm not sure if it would get a bonus with any of them. I'm not sure how interspecies bonuses really work - some of the existing ones don't make much sense to me.
 
Binturongs can be kept with Asian small-clawed otters, which would make for a really unique mixed species setup.

Multiple lemur species are also often kept together, so for that reason I'd love to see at least one more lemur eventually (and ideally multiple, I love lemurs).

White-naped cranes seem to do well with red pandas. They aren't otherwise one of my top crane choices, but this would be another really fun mixed habitat.
 
Meerkats can be kept with Crested Porcupine. Bat-eared Fox are another small African mammal that often does well in mixed species exhibits, especially for a fox.

Red Kangaroos are often mixed with Emus as well as a variety of other macropod species (Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby and Kangaroo Island Kangaroo in the case of my local zoo). On the other hand, Koalas are kept with smaller mammals a lot more often than Red Kangaroos, which has always seemed like a weird choice for interspecies bonus to me (to use my local zoo as an example again, the koalas are kept with Long-nosed Potoroo and Short-beaked Echidna).
