    I totally agree with you. I personally liked the Tropical House with Orangutans, Elephant Valley, African Plains and Bird Wetlands. But whole zoo was pretty.

    Yes, my guess would be either instead of Spectacled owls or Buffy fish owls next to penguin house.

    There was an empty aviary next to the King vulture, so my guess would be there.

    The rock wallabies might be result of a change in original plans meaning that either swamp wallabies or wallaroos won't be there.

    Availibility wasn't reason for a change as both Swamp and Wallaroos are already present in zoo

    After some research it seems like it will be Rock wallabies and Eastern wallaroos

    Couldn't agree more. I spent hours in there (two visits over two days) and saw something new every time. Superb!
