I especially like this one, and want to make these exact same changes, but I'll have to make a few of my own as well (may come up with some more, but these are good for now):
Completely redo Harmony Hill. Make it rotational with polar bears and give it a more creative name.
Add an American alligator yard outside of Tropical Discovery to the right of the building's entrance, with the Chatham Island giant tortoise yard being to the left of the exit, almost near Dragons of Komodo in a sense.
Bring back white-lipped deer and yaks for the proposed Asian Highlands area so that not only Mishmi takins will return. Make the latter live in the yard to the right of the bactrian camels, while the former two will each occupy the respective west and east yards that used to be for okapis since they're in the zone of the proposed Asian Highlands and Asian Predators area. Black-necked cranes and Himalayan vultures can live with the white-lipped deer.
Have the wallabies specifically be yellow-footed rock wallabies, and also give the Australia area a koala exhibit as well as the Tasmanian devil exhibit. Common brushtail possums can also roam the zoo alongside the peafowl.
Bring back ostriches and add Thomson's gazelles to the old kangaroo yard when the emus and red kangaroos get moved to their new yard, since the latter of the former two was seen in concept art for the Africa exhibit.
Move the okapis to the addax yard, the addax to the yard next door, and the Abyssinian ground hornbills to the empty cheetah yard, bringing the latter's sign back in the process since they're unsigned at the kudu yard. Have helmeted guineafowl (specifically Somali tufted guineafowl) and saddle-billed storks live (and hopefully get along) with the African wild donkeys and ground hornbills, respectively.
Move the leopard tortoises to the gerenuk and black crowned crane yard, and have rock hyraxes and agama lizards fill the tortoises' shoes for their old yard.
Add outdoor exhibits for black-footed cats and red pandas similar to the prairie dog and red panda yards at Saint Louis Zoo in the proposed Into the Wild area, bringing back the latter as a result.
Convert the porcupine exhibit into a fennec fox exhibit and only have the future African penguin exhibit replace the dik-dik exhibit as I don't have that much faith in the latter taking up both of the exhibits' space (if they ever consider making the future penguin exhibit, that is). Add leopard sharks to the penguin exhibit.
