      This exhibit is part of phase 2 of the Brandywine Zoo's master plan (map linked below). It will house 3 Ring-tailed Lemurs, 3 Black-and-white Ruffed Lemurs, a breeding pair of Crowned Lemurs, and 3 Radiated Tortoises.

      Here is further info about the master plan that I got from their website and from an employee.
      • The Markhors and Snow Leopards will be rotating.
      • There will be a glass tunnel through the North American River Otter habitat for people to slide through.
      • There will be a Bald Eagle exhibit near the North American River Otters and Canada Lynx.
      • They may house reptiles, amphibians, and possibly tree pangolins in one of the buildings (I believe the one next to the Komodo Dragons).
      • There will be an opportunity to feed the Chilean Flamingos near the entrance.
      • They may put netting over the Chilean Flamingo/Southern Pudu/Linnaeus's Two-toed Sloth habitat to house Sun Parakeets and macaws (probably Blue-and-yellow, Blue-throated, and Military).

      After reading their news posts, I have further information.
      • The building near the Komodo Dragons will be a herpetarium
      • The Madagascar exhibit, in addition to the three species of lemurs and Radiated Tortoises will also house their small flock of Helmeted Guineafowl in a separate yard.
      • The South American Wetlands exhibit (Chilean Flamingo/Hoffmann's Two-toed Sloth/Southern Pudu/Sun Parakeet/Macaws) will also have ducks including White-faced Whistling-Ducks and aquatic turtles, probably Red-eared Sliders.
    • Dhole dude
      Do they still plan on getting pangolins?
    • red river hog
      @Dhole dude AFAIK that's still something they want, however it's not definite, because they're going to be difficult to obtain.
