    Sambar seem to do quite well in captivity, what with the Bronx Zoo maintaining a herd.

    A variety of deep-sea creatures have been kept over the years, but relatively few have been kept long term. Attempting to keep any deep sea creature is a bit of a gamble because we know so little about them. Any creature that makes it through the decompression to the surface has a fair chance to survive for awhile. Most of these species require quite cold water and a high standard of care, so relatively few aquariums can adequately care for them.

    Red-capped mangabey does well in captivity if I remember correctly.

    White-naped mangabeys also seem to do well in captivity.
