That's quite an impressive array of additions!
 
Curious where some of their animals came from. Cassowary, Baird's Tapir, Grey-Winged Trumpeter, Black-necked Aracari, and Banded Palm Civet are some names that stand out to me for a zoo of this scale.

Martial eagle, Yellow-billed stork, and i think Arabian oryx used to be exhibited here.
 
The map is missing the Sable Antelope, Wildebeest, Nyala, Kudu, Bongo, Scimitar Oryx, Arabian Oryx, and several others I have seen in recent trips. And he had herds in the double digits of all of those but the Wildbeest "backstage".

When did you see the Arabian oryx? and in what part? Because I visited last summer with none seen
 
There were a few in a pen near the Waterbuck. And more in the back area along with Bongo, Sable Antelope, Kudu etc in breeding herds. IMG_20170702_111841605.jpg
