Could White-headed Capuchin Monkeys be able to stay in the same exhibit as Northern Tamanduas and Giant Anteaters?

I doubt it, they're notoriously aggressive and would definitely harass the tamandua.

Okay. Is there any zoo exhibit with both Giant Anteaters and Capuchin monkeys.

Not that I know of. I do know of the combo happening at a wildlife rehabilitation center though.

Can Toco Toucans/Chestnut-Eared Aracaris + any Tamarin species + Red Footed Tortoise combination work?

Usually any monkey and bird combination is a no. Some species of toucan can be aggressive also. The tortoises would be fine with either though. A good rule of thumb is to have animals together that would almost never interact. So an exhibit with anteaters, fish, and spider monkeys would be fine because they never would interact.

That I think it's possible, IIRC I read about something like anteaters and brown capuchines.

I was wondering which animal (ground-dwelling species, possibly) can live with a group gibbons. I know there are several ungulate choices but I fear that gibbons can be for them too bothersome (especially for shy animals, like rhinos).

Tapirs can be with gibbons, so can orangutans and some deer species.

There is always a risk, but my local zoo kept rainbow toucans for years with golden lion tamaris, at the end there was only one toucan left, so they gave it away and now they are getting a pair of channel-billed toucas.

Just to come back to this, Singapore Zoo has had Greater Indian Hornbills in their exhibit for Proboscis Monkeys for over 6 years, without any issues whatsoever. If they have enough place (Read:At least a decently-sized aviary/greenhouse), smaller Toucan species and small primates really shouldn't have any issues.

He said really not usually. Using strawman arguments will help you no where.

How about a Brazilian Tapir, Capybara, and a Northern Screamer exhibit?
