The only zoo in the United States to see...

At least the only zoo in the U.S.

There certainly haven't been any in Europe since the 1980's - in point of fact I think Europe is down to 2 species of megapode now, having lost a few in the past decade.
 
Brookfield zoo- Black handed spider monkey, souther hairy-nosed wombat and possibly red-capped mangabeys and sooty mangabeys.

There are Black-Handed Spider Monkeys than just at Brookfield. I don't know all the places but I saw some at Naples Zoo.

I believe San Deigo has wombats (not sure on species). I've been to several zoos besides Brookfield with black-handed spider monkeys and red-capped mangabeys. They do have the only red-faced spider monkey though.
 
zoos that have southern hairy nosed wombats are brookfield zoo, san diego zoo,memphis zoo & toronto zoo. Rio Grande Zoo in New Mexico has Tasmanian Wombats.

I knew they had a different type of spider monkey but did not know which.

I was a little upset that they had no signage for it. I think it is the only of its species in North America, or at least as far as I know.

Looks like Ateles paniscus. A species I've never seen in another NA zoo.
 
Black Wildebeest: Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park in Alto, Michigan. (30 minutes south of Grand Rapids)

Isn't the Six Flags Great Adventure Safari in NJ has Black Wildebeest too? I have not personally seen the animals, but it is one of the animals on the list on their website.
