I visited the zoo today and can address a few topics from last year. There is a yard exhibit in the Asian loop that is currently empty with a sign that it will hold dholes in the near future. The Australia area appears slightly refreshed, one of the three yards is empty with a sign in the exhibit that whatever lives or will live there is not there...so perhaps it will be the rumored wombat.
Presumably they intend to exhibit them? Maybe not, as San Diego and Smithsonian National no longer do.
