Melbourne Zoo A Few Questions

I can answer the first two but I don't know about the last one.
1. If you enter from the station entrance and turn right towards the Australian section, her exhibit is on the right of the path behind some bamboo. I always check to see if she is there but I've only seen her once and it was very early in the morning just after it had opened.
Here's a picture I took...

2. I thought she was always on exhibit because I've been twice since she moved in and saw her both times on more then one occasion per visit.
3. I've only seen one in the exhibit at a time so I don't know whether there are any more then that.

i have found the answers to all my questions.....thanks for the help.
i have just returned from the melbourne zoo and all the time it poured rain. no gorillas were to be seen but the mandrills were right near the viewing glass. monifa the pygmy hippo was kind enough to come to the very edge of the viewing glass (so cute and tiny). like someone mentioned in another thread no one acknowledged that she was a PYGMY hippo but just a baby hippo.
animals that were nowhere to be seen were the-lemurs
bears
snow leopards
pumas
gorillas
siamang
oriental small clawed otters
zebra
ostrich
many others i can't remember
i was overjoyed though when i caught sight of the malayan tapir. i am actually surprised how easy it is to see her through the bamboo. i am quite lucky i didn't drown walking through the asian and african rainforests as many parts of the trail were flooded completely. the new marine precinct is due to open on the 9th of december. can't wait.
regards Jesse
