There will be 2 malayan and 2 amur tigers in the exhibit, and does anyone know if there is only a single enclosure and the tigers are rotated...or are there actually two different exhibits? The video on the news link provides a few seconds of footage of the overall enclosure.
 
Two separate tiger exhibits, plus separate areas for red pandas and Eld's deer. I recall seeing a site plan on the zoo's website (possibly in an on-line version of their newsletter?).
 
Currently Eld's deers are not on exhibit yet. In their place are Indian Muntjacs. Eld's deer are too timid and having a harder time adjust to the small exhibit since they come from the Wilds and used to large areas.
 
Deer

I'm really looking forward to getting a look at the exhibit on Saturday when I'm at the zoo. I heard they are exhibiting Burmese brow-antlered deer as well. Is there only 1 deer exhibit or do the Eld's and Burmese have separate enclosures?
 
Only one deer exhibit in the Tiger Trek. Chances are you may not be able to see the Eld's deers on exhibit since the curator want to take time to let them adjust to the new environment. And he want to make that change as less traumatic for the deer as possible.
