Updates:
-The moat was filled in Africa. It flows from the cheetah exhibit, under a bridge, into the African plains area, and down into the lion enclosure.
-The African Plains exhibit is also near completion even though it won't open until next year.
-John the lion can now be seen from the Base Camp Cafe restaurant.
-There will be a vulture exhibit in Africa. However, it is on a separate island that is extremely small for two large birds. The construction worker I talked to doesn't know whether they will be able to be mixed in with the hoofstock.
-The zebras will be mixed in with the other animals and will not have a separate exhibit.
-New 6 brown anoles and 6 green tree frogs are now in the pitcher plant exhibit in Manatee Springs.
-A Parrot Snake replaced in Yellow pond turtle in Manatee Springs.
-The black stag beetle is back and replaced the cave whip spiders (the spiders have another exhibit)
-A third black tree monitor was added to World of the Insect.
-Another fence is being added to the Okapi exhibit in front of the guest viewing. The vertical branches will be longer than the horizontal ones to create more privacy. A small, wooden hut was added, so this might mean duikers are coming!
-Padmae the Aardvark looks awfully skinny the last time I saw her so she may have given birth.

I'm in no position to post a video but so far two flamingos have hatched. Go to their Twitter page to see the video.
 
The big cat exhibits look quite nice -- reminds me of the layout for the lion exhibit at the Virginia Zoo. I look forward to visiting this zoo in the near future.
 
Updates:
-A timber rattlesnake replaced the grassland whiptail lizards
-The lizards share the exhibit with the west coast rattlesnakes.
-A grey rat snake was added to the Palmetto scrub exhibit in Manatee Springs
-a new wallaby exhibit was opened behind the Children's Zoo. It has Don, Tom, Rocko, and Jaz, the Bennetts wallabies, and Adams the Parma wallaby.
-A Florida orb weaver spider replaced the tin foil beetle.
-The beetles replaced the grey bird grasshoppers.
-The ruffed lemur exhibit has been closed for two weeks.
-Pygmy falcons hatched on 6/19, 20, 23 and can be seen in the nursery.
-I have two secrets about Africa. Hint: it's what Kudu21 has been wanting:D
-The okapi exhibit is back open.

Wait, so the Grassland Whiptail Lizards are still on exhibit but in another terrarium?

Was there an old wallaby exhibit? If so, what's replacing it.

PM me those secrets if you can!:D

Are there any duikers?

Yes the lizards are in with the rattlesnakes

The wallaby exhibit was in the nursery. Now the pygmy falcons are in it.

Sadly I no saw duikers. I didn't even see a sign. But what else would the little hut be for?
 
Including today, only 9 more days until I leave for Cincinnati!:D That said, I'd say 10 more days before I actually get to the zoo.

I forgot to mention that the feather-tail glider exhibit has been closed for two weeks. I peeked in and saw that it was completely empty.

Since the zoo doesn't seem to care about posting their map any time soon, here it is.

Sorry for the quality but here is what was added.
-Maasai Giraffes
-Africa
-Emu
-Bactrian Camel
-Przewalski's Horse
-Takin
-Red River Hog
