    Guessing grasslands will lead to some changes to the area of the zoo, meaning a lot of animals will have to move out for this to take place, and the zoo currently has limited space to hold multiple large groups of animals, I.e deer, zebra, bongo

    All we know so far is that the giraffes are slated to move over, and that vultures should be coming in, but until then anything could happen, within reason of course.

    Animals from west zoo need to be moved across to the holding area so that work can commence on the sites of their former enclosures. The only alternative is for all these animals to leave the zoo.
