It would be quite sad really if it’s only Kumari. It limits the chance of Chester having cubs which was such a high expectation when they arrived

It is only Kumari and this has been the case since the lionesses arrived (or since soon after their arrival). I'd agree with Bongorob that it's unlikely they'll ever breed from Iblis/Kumari.
 
I visited the theme-park that is West Zoo yesterday. On the subject of lions, Iblis was mating Kumari and I asked the keepers about the liklihood of it being successful. They thought it odd as she had been in season the week before, but then added that they didn't mind which of the females he mated. Not sure what to make of that.

Pademelons now have the full use of the enclosure, flamingos are back on the pond. Elsewhere, the binturong are mixed with the sun bears.
 
Another note I've seen on YouTube, both of the agouti's are together, however based on SMR's statement that the pademelon I'm not sure where they are for sure.
 
Some capybara were put back with the tapirs a while ago. The agoutis are in the round enclosure, the pademelons have the full use of the old anteater and pudu enclosure.

Are the jaguars using both sides of SOTJ now that the bears have moved over to Islands?

Different bear species. The sun bears moved to Islands, the male spectacled bear to Spirit of the Jaguar.

Besides, the zoo only holds two non-breeding jaguar, so no need to separate them. Another species will move into the savannah side.
