Hello
Are Blyth's tragopan (Tragopan blythii), Tongan megapode (Megapodius pritchardii) and Superb bird-of-paradise (Lophorina superba) still in zoo? If so, are they in exposition?

The zoo does still have Blyth’s Tragopan and Superb BoP. The BoP are in one of the Australasian aviaries by the gorilla habitat and the Tragopan are also located in an aviary around there (can’t remember specifically which one). Not sure about the Tongan Megapode.

The tragopan is in the aviary with one of the BOPs (forget if it's Superb or Magnificent).

The scrubfowl is still alive but off-exhibit. Her aviary is theoretically visible from just past the marsh aviary in Northern Frontier.

@Zoocestovatel For what it's worth, I just saw the tragopan and bird of paradise on Thursday. I failed to see the megapode but it's pretty difficult to do so because of the angle and the bird's behavior. As far as megapodes go, the zoo also has Maleo free-roaming in the Owens Aviary which I saw.

I thought the aviary the tongan was in cannot be accessed anymore?
 
Hello, I am sorry if this was already answered before somewhere. I was just curious if the zoo got rid of their Greater one horned rhinos in Urban Jungle. They weren’t on the latest map, so I was just curious if they are still there or moved?

The zoo does not have any GOHR at the moment. This was addressed on the previous page:

I checked the zoo's map on the website and the Indian Rhino is no longer on the map. The map also says published on April 21st, 2022 at the bottom. Did something happen to Maza?

This is a really random question, but do any of the locals know if the zoo owns the empty lot directly east of of Africa Rocks? I ask because it seems like a prime piece of undeveloped land for a future development if so.

It belongs to the adjacent middle school sadly. But you are correct, it could be used as a great backstage area creating more room for Elephant Odyssey.
