Mostly it's a crayfish or what the Aussies call them "Yabbies".
To answer the question about collections with Yabbies. The Sedgwick County Zoo has Queensland Red-clawed Yabbies.

I could imagine the huge crowds lining up to see the Platypus, the platypus has been popular in recent popular culture like Agent P from "Phineas and Ferb" and unlike the one in the show, the platypuses at the safari park really do much and are active since they are nocturnal and lightning switches the day and night cycle for visitors to see them in action. Hopefully in Season 2 of The Zoo: San Diego, there will be an episode highlighting the platypuses.
Also any news for the Asia Area and Tram since 2020 is coming up and it might open up that year?

l did notice some construction by that area when I was their this year but I’m not sure outside of that. My guess is that it’s opening sometime in late 2020
The park has welcomed its 100th southern white rhino calf.

Perhaps the gibbons will be part of the Asia area next to Tiger Trail, Babirusas from Nairobi Village will be moved there, and according to this Zoonooz Article, they plan on adding Lowland Anoa to the collection and that they might be part of it.

I believe that the reason they wanted to build the Asian savannah area for last is because there's nothing good in the northern area of the Safari Park other than Conder Ridge, Botanic Gardens, and tiger exhibit and not many visitors go there. So they decided to do in phases first adding southwestern animals to Condor Ridge like the Ocelot, Harris Hawk, and Elegant Tinamous, the Tull Family Tiger Trail area, and finally the Walkabout Australia with it's collection of Australian animals including Kangaroos, wallabies, birds, cassowaries, and the platypuses which would now lead to Asia Savannah Area being constructed.
So what's the construction progress on the Asian Savannah area so Far?
