can carnivores of the same biome be mixed in an exhibit? like say i wanted to make an amur leopard/siberian tiger exhibit. would the tiger attack the leopard? what about any wolves, since they attack each other very often?

it is possible but make sure that everyones fed. the wolves attack eachother for mating rights i think.

It can be done as wolfkid said if everyone fed well you wont get AS many attack, when ever i do a exhibit i try to use animals that live in the same area so it natural for the animals to see each other and it dose work better. =)
Hope Any of this info Helps.

I usually have grizzly bears in with wolves and wolverines without any fuss.

I do the same with orca, polar bear and walrus.

I think they'll be fine as long as you keep them all well fed, but I would be careful about wolves, with the alpha breeding pairs and such.

I believe some carnivores do hunt other ones (ie larger ones attacking smaller ones), but you'll have to try and see...shouldn't be too much of a problem if you do as the others say and keep them all well fed!

Ethiopian and Grey wolves work fine together. So do Ratel and Wolverine, Lion, tiger and Black leopard, Hamerhead and blacktip, walrus and sea lion, etc...
If they are similar in sice, they work together. The exceptions are the Jaguar (is hunted by fellow Panthera's) and Nile monitor (hunted by Komodos).

Ethiopian wolves, gray wolves, and African wild dogs can all share a grassland exhibit. They are all compatable with grassland, and as long as they are fed well, and given plenty of room, you can keep them together.

Not for me. Single species exibits bore me. In fact, I had never used the Grey wolf untill I got AA, and since then, it's always in Alpine with the Ethiopian one.

So...there's no problem if i put a black leopard and a tiger in the same exhibit? They won't end killing each other?
Or what about a black leopard and a jaguar? They don't kill each other?

Well, Jaguars and Black Leopards never work out for me for some reason. I can't remember who instigates it, but babies don't last long in those situations :boohoo:

Yeah, for some odd reason, leopards stalk jaguars, despite jaguars being bigger and stronger in proportion...
And that is VERY hard to mod. I've been trying to get a sucessful mod with the Nile monitor and Komodo dragon, but I've only got a decrease in stalling, to the point of both couples having eggs.

Yes you can. I've put Rockhoppers and Orca's in the same exhibit, and their youngs don't are killed.

I find that most carnivores can be kept in an exhabit together.  However, crocidiles I find different because they attack and kill things when they're not hungry.

Croc only work with big mammals, ceratopsians, and usermade DL's made out of the croc (for example, the gharial). But beware of the babies, they'll get eaten.
