...wouldn't they just keep the fishing cat and babirusa where they currently are? There isn't really much of a reason to try and cram everything Asian into this new precinct, if the focus ultimately is on giving elephants a massive space. Ultimately it's the zoo's call.

I think it'd be cool if they had monkeys or gibbons in the exhibit. Let them have a whole overhead vine system to run around the entire section

Or perhaps an island in a pond near the elephant pool like Denver does with their rhino/elephant pool in their Asian exhibit.
 
San Antonio Zoo has publicly announced the death of a male Mallard (!) called KEVIN.
San Antonio Zoo on Instagram: "It is with heavy hearts that we share with you that yesterday afternoon our Animal Care team made the difficult decision to euthanize the beloved Kevin The Duck. Kevin, a wild mallard, arrived at San Antonio Zoo sometime around 2017 in the hippopotamus habitat. We believe was born in the zoo and ended up in the habitat with Timothy and Uma. Kevin had a deformed wing and could not fly, so our Animal Care team adopted him and took care of him his entire life. Kevin passed away quietly yesterday morning under the loving care and comfort of his veterinarians and animal care staff. In recent weeks the team noticed Kevin displaying mobility issues, and an exam by our veterinary team found two large cancerous masses, one in his chest and one in his abdomen. The mass in his chest was affecting his ability to breathe well and the mass in his abdomen was affecting his ability to walk. At the age of 8, Kevin lived a full life. The average lifespan for a wild mallard is 5 - 10 years. He was known for always crashing the hippo experiences and often stealing the spotlight. We believe Kevin may have considered himself to be a hippo and both Timothy and Uma happily accepted him into their family. Please enjoy this video about Kevin The Duck from March of 2021, with a special message to him from the zoo crew, Timothy and Uma at the end. #KevinForever"
