This is an attempt to list every species on exhibit at Monkey Jungle in Miami, Florida during my visit on 3-16-19. I am including species for which there is a sign on each exhibit, and touring the exhibits in a roughly clockwise direction from the zoo entrance. Most of the exhibits are quite bare and basic except where noted.
Small-sized wood-and-wire cage:
Hyacinth Macaw
Small-sized wood-and-wire cage:
Southern Two-toed Sloth
Parrot (unsigned and unidentified)
'Wild Monkey Swimming Pool':
This lush enclosure is the largest exhibit and one of the 3 star attractions; it is several acres in size and the extent of it cannot be observed from the visitor areas. Visitors are confined to long tunnels enclosed with wood frames and heavy wire mesh while the inhabitants are free to explore and climb up on top of the tunnels. The reason they like to be on top of the tunnels is for visitor feeding. Visitors can purchase boxes of 'Craisins' treats and dole them out into small metal cups suspended on long chains from the roof. Once some treats are placed in a cup, a monkey can lift the chain and cup up to a small hole in the roof that is large enough for a monkey arm to reach the treats! The tunnels are adjacent to some of the smaller exhibits interspersed that follow. One section of the visitor area is not enclosed in mesh, and that is the Wild Monkey Swimming Pool which is observed from a long viewing shelter with benches for watching the several daily presentations where keepers disperse fruit to the edge and into a medium-sized pond for the monkeys to demonstrate their swimming ability. The pond is contained on one side by the visitor shelter so the railing is hot-wired to prevent escape. The inhabitants are a large population of:
Java Macaque
Koi
Medium-sized wire cage with PVC pipe for visitors to feed treats to:
White Handed Gibbon
2 medium-sized wire cages with PVC pipe for visitors to feed treats to:
Brown Headed Spider Monkey

Medium-sized tall wood-and-wire exhibit:

'Cameroon Jungle':
This lush 1-acre dry-moated yard is adjacent to an empty concrete grotto wall on one side; the grotto with very strange simulated concrete tree branches appears to have been a horrible exhibit at one time. The yard itself has an adjacent small seating shelter for visitors to watch several daily keeper presentations about the inhabitant, a single male named 'King' who is a:
Western Lowland Gorilla
Medium-sized wire cage with PVC pipe for visitors to feed treats to:
Diana Monkey
'Amazonian Rainforest':
This lush enclosure is one of the 3 star attractions; it is several acres in size and the extent of it cannot be observed from the visitor areas.

Visitor presentations with keepers are held here several times a day, and visitors can opt to take a 45 minute guided tour inside the enclosure for an upcharge to get unobstructed views of the inhabitants:
