Belize
These are just some of the residents of Belize Zoo. All are native to Belize. I now know why they call it the "The best little zoo in the world". It is hardly like a zoo, its almost as if you are in the jungle with the wildlife. All in a stunning tropical setting and as little done as possible to 'modernize' it, but to keep it as natural as possible. 
For detailed descriptions of these and many more animals of Belize, see Wildlife of Belize
