 Singapore Zoo
The zoos are also well-known for their 'open' exhibits - animals are housed in exhibits that are seperated by moats and/or fences hidden by plants.
Recently there have been quite a number of free-ranging exhibits in both the Zoo and Night Safari, including large walk-thru habitats and free-ranging animals (for example, golden lion tamarins at the Zoo are free to run around as they please with no barriers), which can be done only in a few zoos.
All other zoo collections of this animal have died except for the ones at the NY Bronx Zoo (which by the way is also an excellent zoo).
