There should now be 24 males and 15 females in Europe.
Carnet de Bord dummy!
I find the zoo director to be an interesting fellow -- not many I've seen are willing to jump on a crocodilian along side their keepers.
I remember seeing a lot of ads for Beauval in Le Metro the last time I was through Paris, but didn't make the effort I should have. I will once this dome is finally opened.
A few extra photos of the new Dome. Think a few of the shots show the Giant otter exhibit and it looks amazing! It also shows a photo of the douc langurs:

Is anyone planning on visiting the zoo soon after the opening of the dome to get some pics?
I might go this summer, not earlier tho.
I'm amazed you're not dropping everything to do so yourself
Sadly not possible given the flotilla of exams coming my way very soon

If I had a four day weekend coming up rather than three, i'd have seriously considered going; weather forecast is better out that way.
I’m going to Beauval for the first time in July. I know it’s not very soon, but I will take some pictures.
When it opens will all species be present ? I'm going in July and hope to see the harpy eagles and Douc langurs.
I personally think that they will arrive later, but I don't really know.
I would, but I'm already obliged in the other direction. I probably won't be able to visit until 2021 at the earliest.
The douc langurs are a nice surprise. Since they've only been focusing on a couple of species in the Logbook videos, I haven't been sure what's all supposed to be exhibited.
I'm very much looking forward to the opening, and all that follows!
The dome will hold 25,000 animals in total: 24000 fish, 200 birds, 600 insects, 150 reptiles and 100 mammals.
I am almost sure that all the animals for inside the dôme will be there during the opening. I expect that the animals for the outside enclosures (including the Harry eagles and Douc Langurs) won’t be there with the opening but will come shortly after the opening. I personaly expect them to be there with your visit (and mine too) in July.
Douc langurs shouldn't be here at the openning (even if half of their exhibit is inside).
Harpy eagles not quite sure, this depend on the work on their shelter because the aviary is only outside.
All of the other species seems to be already there (seen on their Carnets de bord, or on Zootiereliste).
I strongly recommand you to visit the park during the week, because weekends can be overcrowded

6. Aldabra giant tortoise (living with Rodriguez flying fox)
7. Scarlet ibis (free-living)
8. Nicobar pigeon (free-living)
Species who where behind the scenes but will come in show in the dôme:
1. Komodo dragon
New species:
1. Squirrel monkey (unknown species) (living with tamandua)
2. Tamandua (probabely southern tamandua) (living with squirrel monkey)
3. Giant otter
4. Sand fiddler crab
5. Axolotl
6. Western pygmy hippopotamus
7. Rodriguez flying fox (living with Aldabra giant tortoise)
8. Malagasy rainbow frog/Red rain frog

Do you know when the Douc langurs should be here?
You forgot to add Lanthanotus borneensis on your list, which is a new species to the zoo, and a beautiful species only present in a few zoos in Europe.
I haven't any more informations on doucs. As mentionned by my french friend @Therabu, they should come from the Dusit Zoo, or at least from Thailand, but it's still unconfirmed yet.
