Cool. I wanted to see the kiwi so badly. I was delighted to see the babu lemurs and both gorillas though.

Can I ask again when the Zoo has Lesser Kudus on Display ? Are they added recently to the collection ? Also the Kiwi ?

See above for information about the zoo's kiwi. The lesser kudu were added in 2011. The Kiwi went on display in late 2013/ early 2014.
I'd also like to point out that, due to an escape, the kudu were taken off for some time and were not present on my visit in April so probably just went back on-show. And the kiwi was present in December 2013.

According to the director of the bronx zoo on twitter, the komodo dragon exhibit opens on may 24th. I expect this is just the indoor portion, as the exterior portion did not look finished a week ago.

An article from the NY Times about the new Komodo dragon exhibit. This is the first time that the species has been at the Bronx Zoo in over 50 years:

I guess the indoor portion at least is called Amazing Monitors. I wonder if the outdoor portion will still be called Island Giants.

Okay, so I'm going to visit the Bronx Zoo this weekend, either on the 31st or on Sunday the 1st. I'm definitely going to check out the monitor exhibits, try to catch a glimpse of a kiwi again, and look for the baby gorillas/young mandrills at the Congo Gorilla Forest.
Is there anything else in particular that I should plan to go see on my visit? Does anyone want me to look out for something for them, like the current collection in the World of Birds for example?

You forgot lion cubs.
I literally just remembered them before checking this thread for new posts.
I'd been making such a huge fuss about them ever since they debuted - I can't believe I'd forgotten! But thanks for the reminder.
