Anyone ever came across Giant Anteater and Patagonian Mara mixed together? Would it work?

Yep, I've seen that combination.

Artis has Giant anteater, Patagonian mara, Lowland tapir, Llama and Capybara in one exhibit.

As long as the anteaters weren't annoyed with the Mara, I don't see what he issue would be. I guess it may work, but they'd need space for themselves to be alone, but I'd take the opinions as well as my own.

Could Cotton-top Tamarins, Common Marmosets, and Common Squirrel Monkeys live together in a walkthrough exhibit?

I'm not sure about the latter but the first two has been done here (not in walkthroughs tho).

The Biodome of Montréal keeps Cotton-top in a huge walkthrough exhibit, alongside Golden lion Tamarin, Goeldi's Monkey, Sloths, Basilic and Iguana, tons of birds, Cane Toad, Yacare caïman, Tortoises and Turtles, but it is a large indoor rainforest exhibit. Look it up! I think your mix can be done if all species have their own territory in the exhibit, visual barriers, communal and also specific feeding stations.

I currently have a pair of Siberian Tigers in my RTZI company. For them I want to make a "theme" section in the zoo, which concentrate on Siberia. Any ideas on which species I can keep in this section? Just to make sure, they won't live in the same exhibit :P

Currently I was only thinking about Wild Boar, but they live everywhere, so they are not specifically Siberia located.

There's also Manchurian crane.
I'd download the COTW Russia pack by Tamara Henson and see if it has some animals fitting for your section.

Thank you, I will look at both your suggestions.

I already thought of Amur Leopards, but I wanted to make a small section in the zoo, and I think two predators (and the Amur Leopards are rare enough for being a main attraction) are too much.

Quick question, Collared peccaries and Lowland Tapirs, could they be combined?

Amur Leopards are common in captivity, (most common subspecies in Europe IIRC) so you don't really have to worry about them ;)

I am not sure Peccaries and Tapirs are a really good mix honestly. I know both species can be mixed with other animals, especially true for the tapirs, but I never heard of a tapir/peccary combinaison.

@Furka; Yeah but I mean, there are less then 100 of these animals living free in the wild today, so with that I mean they deserve more attention then being a "side attraction" next to tigers (which normally get more attention from visitors).

@Uolym; Can you maybe think of any other combinations with Tapirs? I want to build a mixed exhibit with Maned Wolfs, but when the Tapirs give birth, I want to separate the Maned Wolfs from the Tapirs. But when the Tapirs don't have a calf, they are placed together. I have a spare exhibit in which I would like to house a non predator species (and are not a threat to the little Tapir), which can replace the Maned Wolfs.

I already have Capybaras, but they have their own exhibit.
