The pack came from Night Safari.

Also two updates.

1. Malayan Box turtle has been added to the Forest Floor

2. 2.0 Javan langurs have been introduced into the Canopy. Still not the friendliest though, and was hissing at a number of non familiar staff.

I believe the Philippine Spotted Deer have been introduced into the zone too? The pair welcomed their first fawn recently.

2. Southern river terrapin
3. François langur
4. Axis deer

17. Javan langur
18. Siamang *
19. Philippine spotted deer *
20. Bali myna
21. Prevost's squirrel*
22. Edward's pheasant

33 and 34 were supposed to be black pond turtle and Vietnamese pond turtle but the signages have been removed. FYI reticulated python and siamese crocodile are advertised on Mandai's website but as per the reptile team, the siamese crocs are unlikely to move anytime soon for now.

For the turtles (no 7-11), are they located at the Forest Floor area? Or some are at the entrance gorge?

They're at Forest Floor

If they aren't coming to Rainforest Wild, perhaps the Siamese crocodiles fould move to Panjang's former enclosure? With the 4 species that didn't make it in, that would've been 36 species as marketed

In total, Mammals: 15, Birds: 2, Reptiles: 10, Fish: 3, Invertebrates: 2

Aside from okapis and the lemur walkthrough, I’m not sure what they’ll add but they already have these African rainforest species that could potentially be moved here like bongos, red river hogs, hippos, monkeys, etc, wouldn’t expect as many new species for RW. Bonobos and Congo buffalo would be amazing to have and I’d love for the return of mandrills, duikers and African dwarf crocodiles

Hoping for the smaller species in Congo and Madagascar sections
 
Does anyone know which species of blood python Mandai have? Last time I saw it, it was signed as Python brongersmai. Also are all of the cave racers now at RW or are there still some left in Night Safari?
