I also think squirrel monkeys and capybaras would be a good mix species exhibit.

Well I am guessing that anacondas are not an option. So I am going to say a capybara or any other large rodent. Maybe some kind of floor tortoise? Maybe some yellow footed or red footed tortoises?

Hi Ashley, yes, pygmy marmosets are out unfortunately. They are some of my favorite monkeys. tiny body, big attitude!
We also had night monkeys at NAtural Encounters. They truly were very cool for our night events in that building. The exhibit we have for this is an outdoor exhibit so it will have a natural light cycle. i think all our guests would see is a box that has a monkey sleeping in it during the day.
These are such cool ideas though!

We’ve had a couple of suggestions for sloths. I love them and you can see Succotash our Hoffman’s two-toed sloth at Natural Encounters. You can find her in the rain forest exhibit.

LOL Colton. I think gorillas may be a bit big for a 15X15 exhibit, maybe in the future of African Forest……
