Rainforest of the Americas construction August 23 2013

Does anybody know if this is where the jaguar exhibit will be built?
Other than the fact that the zoo says the exhibit will be in the North side of RoA, I have no idea where it will go. My guess is that it will considering this area will not have any animals other than the Toucan exhibit. I'm also confused as to how they will incorporate the Griffon Vulture aviary.
 
What animals are planned for this area? Will either rare Neotropical tapir species be kept?

What we know from the site plan that they have released: Baird's tapir, red uakari, giant otters, toucan (species unknown), orapendula (species unknown), harpy eagles, cotton-topped tamarins. There will also be an aquarium/reptile building with unspecified species - red-bellied piranhas are known. A new jaguar exhibit has been on and off for budget reasons - the latest news is that it will be part of the new exhibit.
 
According to Cal Rock Concrete Environments there will also be a Boa (unknown spp) and Mata Mata exhibits in the Stilt House along with the Piranhas.
