Welcome to the forums! Just a quick note, Chameleons are actually not native to South America, but I'd like them anyways, and I like your suggestions! 
At this point in the game, South America is in the most need of additional species out of all of the continents...granted that's my opinion, but it's a fairly shared one, so it may actually be an over all "community supported" fact/non-fact.
My list of South American mammal wants, priority wants in bold, Even though overall what I think South America needs most are more primates, species-wise none of them are actually that high up on my list. Just more of a general-generic priority. 6 at minimum, I'll put a * by the ones I'd personally choose.
Spectacled Bear
Patagonian Mara
Coatimundi
Brazilian Porcupine
Tayra
Two Toed Sloth (as exhibit, sadly)
Black Howler Monkey*
Squirrel Monkey (probably Common but any species will do)*
Collard Peccary
Pacarana
Golden Lion Tamarin*
Ocelot
Red Howler Monkey*
Emperor Tamarin*
Spider Monkey (any species)* - more popular to most people, I would rather get a Squirrel Monkey over a Spider Monkey, if given the choice. But I do still want them in the game.
Bush Dog
Common Marmoset
Cotton Topped Tamarin
Cuban Hutia
Alpaca
Tamandua
White Headed Marmoset
Pygmy Marmoset
Brown Spider Monkey
Brown Howler Monkey
If we talk about birds, most would be exhibit birds except noted with (H)
Toco Toucan
Hyacinth Macaw
Scarlet Macaw
Scarlet Ibis (H)
Keel Billed Toucan
Roseate Spoonbill (H)
Blue and Yellow Macaw
Military Green Macaw
Blue Headed Macaw
Spix's Macaw
(and more Macaws as you really cannot have too many IMO. I'd throw money at a 20 pack of Macaws TBH.)

Thank you for all the ideas! Here is an updated list (even though Chameleons are not native to South America):
- Chameleon
- Golden Tamarin
- Marine Iguana
- Galapagos Penguin
- Marmoset
- Toucan
- Roseate Spoonbill
- Blue and Yellow Macaw
- Scarlet Macaw
- Gentoo Penguin
- Collard Peccary
- Spider Monkey
- Cuban Hutia
Would you like to see the Glaucous Macaw if it is still alive?
Only real animals in my funny zoo game
Were there chameleons in South America?
These are all the South American animals I could accept and won't mind Planet Zoo to have.
- Squirrel monkey
- Alpaca
- Three-banded armadillo
- Aviary ideas for flying birds like macaws and toucans
- Piranhas (Exhibit)
- Arapaima (If possible. Most zoos and aquariums in my home country housed those.)
No thanks.
lol it is real. But I don't know why that Obsession with a most likely extinct or almost extinct Macaw Species is so big. I'd prefer the Hyazinth Macaw
Which Piranhas specifically?
Could you give me an example of a zoo that has an Arapaima?
I'm not completely sure but I think Red-bellied Piranhas and black Piranhas are relatively common in Captivity
The Smithsonian National Zoo has arapaima and red-bellied piranha in their Amazonia section.
Thanks. This is what I needed.
About piranhas:
Red-bellied ones and others of Pygocentrus (excluding Pygocentrus palometaas nomen dubium) are the most identical and recognisable to me.
About arapaimas:
Malaysia - Zoo Negara, Zoo Taiping, Langkawi Underwater World and KLCC Aquaria
Singapore - Singapore Zoo and River Wonders
Check Wikipedia
Well, that's all I could think of.
