I love that idea! Cleveland also has sloth, porcupine and agouti in a mixed-species exhibit like that... they formerly had tamandua with sloth and emperor tamarins as well.

The zoo has begun posting various projects the zoo is currently working on and when certain areas might be closed. It is on their map page and is updated periodically.

I wouldn’t be surprised if capybaras return. The zoo runs the SSP. They might need to wait for availability. Atlantis was on her own because she was not fond of other capybaras. I could see the return of capybaras at the zoo being located elsewhere. Their current habitat is not very big and is at least a third pool.
Seems like right now the biggest thing for a while Garden View Place. Wonder what'll happen after that until Africa II

Redo Curious Creatures. Add bird habitat to Wild Asia. Add to red wolf back area.
Another interesting thought. Could the next expansion open in phases. There will likely be habitats leading to the giraffe habitat. Primates for example.
As much as I'd love to see bush dogs or tapirs at the Akron Zoo, I highly doubt this would happen, unfortunately.Agouti is an animal I could see Akron Zoo getting.
Did they say what species?
The species is to be determined.

Maybe the bird habitat in Wild Asia should feature rhinoceros hornbills. As for the primate
exhibit, maybe it could have either colobus monkeys and Debrazza monkeys or mandrills.

Has this morphed into a Speculative Zoo thread?
The zoo already announced it will be for Bali mynahs and white-winged wood ducks. These are two programs the zoo has been involved in. See the information in the press release at the link below from earlier this year.

Very impressive. Were all the birds back on exhibit or were they still inside? Planning on making one more visit to Akron this year soon. Also has anything replaced the Capybara yet?
Birds are still off habitat. The bird pools are all drained. The capybara habitat is currently empty.
The zoo has announced the birds are starting to return to their habitats. Penguins are already out.
Yes. When I went each bird exhibit had a sign about Bird Flu
