The lion house is now the amphibian ark - the outdoor lion compound was to the right of this, ie in the direction of the entrance.
There used to just be a paddock on the site of the takin enclosure, for a while it held additional (!) Malayan tapirs to the ones already in the semi-aquatic mammal house. I think years before this, there was a large, wooded, mara paddock and possibly one for wallabies along this stretch of woodland. Nearby there were wild boar.
Someone said this cage was where the owlery is now, does that mean at the north end of the park, near to the bat-eared foxes? Or do you mean the more recent owl enclosures in 'Roof of the world'?

The single Wild Boar was housed on the site of the original Gibbon house.
