Southern Tamandua and Goeldis Monkey.
I haven't seen a photo of Denver Zoo's tamandua exhibit yet. I don't think I've seen photos of tamandua exhibits from all the U.S. zoos, but if I just judged from photos I've seen so far, I would say Buffalo Zoo has one of the best. With vertical space, many opportunities to climb, and foliage that provides good hiding spots. Although looking at KCZoofan's photos, Topeka Zoo would be a treat for me because of how close visitors can get to them. How big was this exhibit?
 
This exhibit is quite small. I'm not a tamandua expert but I don't think the exhibit is very accommodating to the species. The Tamandua they have, rarely comes out of its nest box and if it does it mostly stays by a red light in the back. The Goeldis, however, are a crowd pleaser. They are very active with the visitors and cute, fuzzy, little creatures.
