Let me know if I missed any species or zoos/aquarium that currently/formerly keep the species
 
You should merge this with aquatic/semi-aquatic mammals. Let me add them in

Currently housed:
  • Asian Small-clawed otter (Amblonyx cinereus, almost all Indonesian zoos)
  • Giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis, Batu Secret Zoo)
  • North American beaver (Castor canadensis, Taman Safari Prigen)
  • Coypu (Myocastor coypus, Batu Secret Zoo)
  • Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, Ragunan Zoo and Taman Safari Bogor)
Formerly housed:
  • Smooth-coated otter (Lutrogale perspicillata, Ragunan Zoo)
  • Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus, Gembira Loka Zoo)
 
Also ODS' False killer whale may have died in quarantine because its exhibit is never built, along with the belugas that were used to be part of the dolphin show. Such a half-assed decision to be honest.
 
Predator Fun Park, a crocodile park owned by the Jawa Timur Park group (The same group that own Batu Secret Zoo and Eco Green Park), is the one that keep the South American fur seals (Arctocephalus australis), not Batu Secret Zoo. While the one at Batu Secret Zoo is a South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) named Willy and Laro.

For some reason in 2017, BSZ said on their Instagram account that they're going to add the fur seals. But turns out they were housed in Predator Fun Park. Not sure why they post it on their Instagram account instead of Predator Fun Park.

FYI, they have three fur seals named Kate, Owen, and Viona. They were delivered from Uruguay.

Off topic, in my opinion, the name "Predator Fun Park" sounds pretty... weird. Don't know what's in their head when they named the crocodile park.

Ocean Dream Samudera's Otaria flavescens and Arctocephalus australis also came from Uruguay
