Bharal or Blue Sheep exhibit, also had Japanese macaques. I think that the Bharal are no longer here, leaving it to the macaques, but has the species left the Cincinnati Zoo for good?

Yes, I'm afraid that the Bharals are no longer present at the Cincinnati Zoo. Whether they are at the off-site breeding center, or they are truely gone, is unkown to me.
 
That doesn't mean they aren't at the off-site breeding center. The zoo's herd of Giant Eland do not show up on ISIS but they are currently held at the off-site breeding center.
 
I don't know exactly how many they have, but they have quite a few. I'd say atleast five or six.
 
I was looking back through old pictures of mine, and it appears that Markhors were also exhibited here as well.
 
Yes, this exhibit still exists :) Today it is only home to the zoo's troop of Japanese Macaque. The Bharal haven't been exhibited in quite a few years.

Also, as it has been established the Giant Eland and the Bharal are both truly gone from the zoo's collection and will not be returning.
 
This looks quite odd! Is this still around? If so what species does it hold?

Well it was originally built in 1930, although the look of the island has gone through some changes over the decades.

Furthermore, that very big tree in the background is approaching 140 years old
