According to Zootierliste, Cotswold Wildlife Park had a pink fairy armadillo in the 1990s. I suspect that there was confusion with a large hairy armadillo, also held in the same decade.
I have a few things I am unsure about. Arabian leopards? (Currently). Asiatic cheetahs? (Currently). Giant pangolin? (Currently).
Held at three places in the UAE that are open to the public, pretty sure they're around in private hands on the peninsula as well. ZootierlisteHomepage

You might want to check out this video(and his others too) by a zoochatter which is an excellent interview with the foremost expert on the pink fairy armadillo, Dr Mariella Superina. Mariella mentions the pink fairy armadillo and how challenging it is to keep in captivity / ex-situ.
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned on this thread yet, but I don’t think there are any Pygmy Two-Toed Sloths in captivity, although I’m pretty sure I heard from somewhere that the Dallas World Aquarium tried to illegally import them.
This is correct (though it's three-toed, not two ). There was some discussion and I posted an article about the DWA incident on the "Are These in Captivity" thread not too long ago.
I believe that that the Asiatic cheetah is held by a zoo (or several ?) in Iran, but im not 100% sure about that.
A few Asiatic cheetahs are part of a breeding program in Iran but I am unsure about how visible these individuals are. Most of the cheetahs are in breeding centers but there is a pair held in Tehran that might be easier to get to. Arabian leopards are held in the UAE at a few institutions. Haven't heard of any Giant pangolin in a zoo, there are probably a few individuals in sanctuaries in western Africa but that's only a guess.
There were two asiatic cheetahs at Pardisan Park in Iran, but they were transferred to Turan/Touran National Park last year in hopes that they would have a successful breeding.
Yes, I seem to remember seeing pictures of some captive individuals of these in Iran, it was in an article online quite a few years ago. Hope it works out but I know efforts there have been very badly hit lately.
They have It's by far the best place for sightings by camera traps, though, with approx. 15 cats already living there, so it's the best place for something to happen.
Yes, can only hope for the best, unfortunately the geopolitical situation is always going to be a major obstacle.
