Copenhagen Zoo's Tropical Rainforest exhibit features southern tamanduas, also known as lesser anteaters. These animals share their habitat with golden lion tamarins, creating a dynamic environment for visitors to observe. The exhibit was originally designed for Javan rhinoceros hornbills but has since been adapted to accommodate the tamanduas.
As a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA), Copenhagen Zoo participates in various conservation and breeding programs. While specific details about the tamandua breeding program at the zoo are not readily available, the zoo's involvement in EAZA suggests a commitment to the conservation of species like the tamandua.
