Well, there's no reason to do that really. They aren't aggressive birds and, as said, they are very common in walkthrough habitats in Australia and New Zealand. I guess the rest of the world hasn't got the memo yet.

In terms of striped hyena biomes, I would definitely give them access to the temperate biome. They live in woodlands in the Caucasus Mountains, and in a nature reserve in Lebanon, they live in dense woodlands of juniper, pine and oak. In a survey there, striped hyenas were the third most common carnivore (behind red fox and stone marten) and fourth most common mammal (with the addition of Indian crested porcupine) in the woods, of thirteen total species.
I'd even be tempted to give them access to the tropical biome as well - they live in the Western Ghats of India, an area of forest with high rainfall, and they also inhabit mangrove forests on the east coast of India.

Got that one completely wrong my friend. Red-necked wallabies don't live anywhere near deserts and tropical would be a question mark. You've also missed their number one biome, which is temperate. TLDR; temperate and grassland at a bare minimum, and maybe also tropical.
Also too restricting. These armadillos are pretty versatile when it comes to biomes. Should definitely have tropical and temperate on top of the ones you've suggested. They live in forests throughout Central and South America, as well as the United States. In fact I'm reading tropical would be their primary biome over anything else. From Wikipedia: "The nine-banded armadillo evolved in a warm, rainy environment, and is still most commonly found in regions resembling its ancestral home. As a very adaptable animal, though, it can also be found in scrublands, open prairies..." It also says they don't do well in very dry environments, so maybe they won't have desert despite popular belief.
Caracal is also pretty versatile. They could have temperate and maybe taiga.
I got shown around in the newly opened Australian area in Copenhagen recently, where their emus are planned to become walk-through species when they have gotten used to the area. According to them, some zoos had good experiences with it, while others had to put them elsewhere after trying. I assume they were mostly referring to other European Zoos. According to them, it had a lot to do with the individual.
I have also been to other European Zoos, where it seems like the emu enclosure was added later than the kangaroo/wallaby walk-through, given you the idea that they probably used to be in the walk-through at some point, but had to be removed.
Alright I see that the emus can be walkthrough.
Apart of me thinks emus can really hurt if they attack you. Farms I have been to have do not touch or feed signs where I have been.
I guess the caracal could have a taiga biome as their range does go into the Middle East and parts of India, im guessing they have been seen in the mountain ranges

I've actually been through a few zoos that have walkthrough exhibits with wallabies. One of them got converted into a regular non-walkthrough exhibit though. It's a zoo that's pretty close to where I live, and I miss it.
I hope all animals are walkthrough. Yes, even those ones.
Including the striped hyena, caracal, and maned wolf?
question, anyone got thoughts on wombats sharing with wallaby’s? And if there are any zoos that have them share.
From what I have read it seems wombats are a bit aggressive in regards to feeding grounds.
And with my Australian zoo I am contemplating rearranging my wombat habitat or just having my wallaby’s share with someone

Emu and wallaby should have temperate, wallaby shouldn’t have desert
Only zoo I know of with a mixed wombat-wallaby exhibit is Wild Life Sydney Zoo, where their resident wombat shares an exhibit with yellow-footed rock-wallabies. However given common wombats are usually quite territorial and aggressive they are usually recommended to be kept alone - mixed habitats like this probably only work when you have a particularly friendly wombat (as Wild Life's individual, Ringo, appears to be). If you want your wallabies to share a habitat with one of the Australian animals that are already in the game, the red kangaroo is probably the best option.
I am very curius to see what colourmorphs we will get, the animals that have rare morphs are:
Leucistic emu
Melanistic Maned wolf
albino and golden wildebeest
And the albino wallaby mentioned earlyer

Looks like most predictions are accurate
I am bummed that the armadillo is 1-2 instead of 6. That picture must be of juveniles and parents.
