[[File:Ring-tailed Lemurs Cleaveland zoo.jpg|150px|thumb|[[Ring-tailed lemur]]s at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo]] Opened originally as the Primate & Cat Building in 1975, the Primate, Cat & Aquatics Building houses one of the largest collections of primate species in North America,<ref name="clemetzoo1"/> including [[western lowland gorilla]]s, [[Müller's gibbon]]s, [[Allen's swamp monkey]]s, [[Golden-bellied mangabey]]s (one of only twelve zoos currently displaying them),  [[Black howler]], [[White-faced saki]]s, [[Bolivian gray titi]]s, [[Ring-tailed lemur]]s, [[Red ruffed lemur]], [[Mongoose lemur]]s and [[Crowned lemur]]s. Also next to the Gorillas is a nocturnal section containing [[Aye-aye]]s, [[Mohol bushbaby|Mohol bushbabies]], and [[Pygmy slow loris]]es. Non primate species in the primate section include [[Fossa (animal)|Fossas]] and [[Northern treeshrew]]s. However, the building does not display the zoo's entire primate collection with some primates featured in the Rainforest and African Savanna.

In 1985, the Cleveland Aquarium permanently closed and donated its collection of exotic fishes and invertebrates to the Metroparks Zoo.<ref name="Zoo_history" /> A section of the Primate & Cat building was renovated to accommodate the new Aquatics section, which currently features 35 salt- and freshwater exhibits include [[Australian lungfish]]es, a [[giant Pacific octopus]], [[electric eel]]s, and hundreds of living [[coral]].<ref name="Zoo_primates" />

The Primate, Cat & Aquatics Building has also featured outdoor exhibits such as the outdoor section of the gorilla and golden bellied mangabey exhibits. The zoo's slowest resident, the [[Aldabra giant tortoise]], can be found in the enclosure directly across from its fastest resident, the [[cheetah]]. Several of the tortoises are over one-hundred years old.
