I was by no means trying to be harsh, and i know things change, but what will the zoo do with the 3 aye-ayes they have off-exhibit.

They are technically on exhibit, but you aren't likely to see them as their exhibit is outdoors and therefore they will be sleeping, probably inside.
 
They're still in the same cages (visited two months ago). Of course, looking empty as the animals were sleeping out of sight. A signage panel prevents visitors about that fact, saying that if you don't see aye-ayes is because they're sleeping.
 
Depending on what's reported or rumors from AZA, the "penguin aquarium" will be 75-100,000 gallons, give or take. So what shark species are safe to be displayed with Jackass? Striped Catshark? Any others? Bronze Whaler?

Striped (pyjama) cat sharks have been done elsewhere.
 
The Mare Nostrum Aquarium in the South of France(Montpellier) mixes African Penguins with a variety of sea bream species as well as Striped Catsharks.
 
YES!!!

Finally a zoo that is closer to me to see the majestic gelada baboon. Is the whole exhibit opening on July 1st or am I confused with the penguin exhibit opening on the same day?
