A more up to date list (though I'm sure to forget some):
* golden lion tamarin
* golden-headed lion tamarin
* Geoffrey's marmoset
* short-earred elephant shrew
* naked mole rat
* Prevost's squirrel
* prehensiled-tail porcupine,
* red ruffed lemur
* white faced saki monkey
* howler monkey
* meerkat
* two toed sloth
* elegant crested tinamou
* three banded armadillo
* greater Madagascar tenrec
* rock hyrax
* degu
* dwarf mongoose
* banded mongoose
* black footed ferret
* acouchi
* Northern tree shrew

It's funny looking at this list and seeing so many of them, it surprises me there are still about five empty exhibits. It is probably because they have reduced the amount of repeated exhibits.

* Sand Cat
* Fennec Fox
* Southern Tamandua
* North American Porcupine
* Agouti
* Brush-Tailed Bettong
* Malagasy Giant Rat
* Striped Skunk

These can also be added to that list :F [sorry that this is 2 years late sorta]

Red Acouchi being the acouchi species.

If I had a dollar for each time that question is asked every day I would be a very rich person.

I remember reading they had Green acouchi but you could be right. I'm going to the zoo in a few hours so i'll find out there.
