The "Predator/Prey Exhibit List" thread gave me the idea for this. Since some of them weren't exactly predator and prey, yet were unusual mixes (white rhino and cheetah). However, note that these are actual mixed exhibits, not just ones where animals can see each other.

So post any unusual mixed exhibits at zoos you know of here. By unusual, I mean animals that you wouldn't expect to be put together, or ones you didn't know could.

Here are some that I've found so far.

Spectacled Bear + South American Coati (Chester Zoo) http://www.zoochat.com/42/spectacled-bear-coati-exhibit-chester-06-a-133408/

Spectacled Bear + South American Coati (Antwerp Zoo) http://www.zoochat.com/35/spectacled-bear-coati-30891/

Cheetah + White Rhinoceros (Boras Zoo) http://www.zoochat.com/759/bor-s-zoo-rhino-cheetah-exhibit-107310/

Vampire Bat + Southern Three Banded Armadillo (Cincinnati Zoo) http://www.zoochat.com/556/jul-2012-common-vampire-bat-southern-282286/
 
Sorry but what is odd with Chester keeping Spectacled Bears with Brown-nosed Coati,as last time I checked they were both South American species,there ranges my not over lap much but they are still from nearly the same area.

Now what is an odd mix is White-lipped Tamarin and Meerkat,and that I have seen in the UK!!

Maybe it's because he was surprised that they could co-exist together not a query about their region of origin :)
 
Vampire bats and an armadillo aren't exactly usual. Neither are bears with procyonids.
 
I think it is the concept of keeping anything with vampire bats that makes it unusual.
