Barnacles in the wild nest on cliffs for protection from fox. In captivity they will nest about anywhere, in a goose nest, building, corner of the pen, etc.
I have never owned giraffe, but hope to some day. I have worked with a few, and have a few friends that own them. Because giraffe need to be in heated quarters for the winter, they need a barn that is well insulated. It would have to have at least 14 to 16 foot of clearance inside. Fences would need to be a minimium of 8 foot. So besides coming up with the 100K plus for the pair of giraffe you need alot of money for the barn too.
We have pastured zebra with alot of different types of animals. It would depend on the zebra's dispostion, size of pasture, number of animals.
Both our exotic and domestic animals are healthy- so we do not worry about disease transmission.
Have not owned Kudu, but have been looking at buying some. They would require a heated barn in winter. But because of price it will be awhile.
Antelope can be halter broke if they are bottle raised. Antelope usually require an 8 foot fence.
