That needs to be stated more clearly in the zoopedia so there's no confusion.

So if the ratio is 1:3 male:female, for example, you could have 1 male and 3 females, or 2 males and 6 females, or 3 males and 9 females, and so on. I'm not sure what that is, but you can definitely have more than one male, as long as you have an appropriate amount of females to balance it out. My observations of peafowl group sizes are that there's a hidden ratio of male:female that are accepted in a group. As it is right now, I no longer feel like I can trust the Zoopedia. If we're setting up a habitat for the first time, we really need to have correct and easy to follow information in order to set things up so that things run smoothly. But I specifically want to focus on the incredibly confusing information presented in the Zoopedia. I know there are several posts already discussing the fact that animals almost immediately try to fight as soon as they become adults, as well as fighting for dominance vs legitimately trying to hurt each other, etc. It does say 1 for male bachelor group size, but what does that even mean? Apparently it means that the Dominance listing is WRONG.) But going back to the Bongos, it says NONE for Dominance there. I can at least anticipate problems by checking that.

(As of writing this message, I only now noticed that it also mentions Dominance as 1 male and 1 female. Only to have my females immediately try to kill each other!! I figured out how big the enclosure should be for that many Dogs (using the Planet Zoopedia website to do the calculations), set everything up, and happily put all my new Dogs in there. After consulting the Zoopedia, which says you can have up to 9 males and 9 females in a group, I decided to spend my last remaining Conservation Credits to buy 1 male and 4 female AWDogs. In a different situation, I just set up a large habitat for African Wild Dogs, my first time having them in a zoo. And yet, the MOMENT a male bongo becomes an adult, it will IMMEDIATELY get into a fight with it's Dad.

Based on what it says here, it gives the impression that we should be able to have multiple males and females in the same habitat without any fighting.
