If they phased out elephants and this exibit had more grass, it might not be bad for common hippos (?) Could even make it a mixed exibit with some primate species to utilise the trees. Seems like an exibit with easy conversion potential anywhere, if/when the eles move :)

It's located in "Wild Asia," so hippos won't work. And I'm not sure how you keeps primates in an open forest without huge, expensive changes
 
The elephants are only in their late 30's so any changes most likely wouldn't happen until at least 10-20 years.
 
Im guessing that if anything replaces them, it will most liekly be rhino, tapir or some type of pig species
 
Are the Indian rhinos going to take over the Asian elephant exhibit by letting the Indian rhino exhibit expand once they're phased out?
 
If the Bronx Zoo decides to phase out their Asian elephants Happy and Patty to a sanctuary, will it become a suitable home for male Indian rhinos or any other animals native to Asia? (Asian water buffalos, Malayan tapirs and even Visayan warty pigs)?
