@LesulaMonkey I’m not entirely sure but I would assume by this summer. I was told construction is still ongoing so it could really be anytime in the next year or so.

I asked on facebook about the clouded leopard and they said they had interior construction delays so they expect the exhibit to be open within a month.

Samson is in fact one of the Brookfield cubs.
I’m glad they got Samson to replace Ussuri after her death. Better than the exhibit remaining empty until the ends of time.
On another note, I wish the birds in the Indonesian Aviary were signed, as the little “guides” have been there since the aviary opened and many species have since either passed or transferred, and new species added. Quite irritating as I spent quite a while last weekend looking for species that’d been gone from the zoo for 5+ years because I decided to try relying on the guide for once.
Also, it appears that the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo enclosure has been removed from the Indonesian Trail, the Eurasian Eagle Owls are nowhere to be found (or maybe they’ve been gone for a while and I haven’t noticed.), same with the Wobbegong sharks in ‘The Reef’ (have they been replaced by the giant groupers?)
Are they done with the two new exhibits by th entrance?
yep! They are incredibly nice too, wouldn’t look out of place in some of the US’s larger and more famous zoos.

I looked on their page and none of the animals you have listed are on their animal list anymore. I will have to look for them just in case next time i go. The otter exhibit is really nice.
In an odd coincidence the male Amur Leopard cub born at the Staten Island Zoo was named Ussuri and was born April 21st which I believe was just a day or two before the Fort Wayne Ussuri died.

The lynx cubs can be seen on exhibit now. I talked to a keeper today and she said sekani, the cub with born with bad tendons is at the columbus zoo, just had surgery to repair the issue and is doing well. The lion enclosure had a sign that said "exihibit temporarily closed" i am not sure why or for how long.

Samson the amur leopard was moved back to Brookfield as part of ssp. I just got confirmation they now have a new leopard named wyatt.
