A little news from the website: It has updated and now has Binturong, malayan tapir and javan green magpie on it. Interestingly enough they are all on the map too but in their current enclosures for the first two. The magpie however has been placed in islands, specifically the bali temple, which gives me reason to believe they will be going on show as no other off show animals are really on the website (bar perhaps the socorro dove)

Edit: Batagur turtle and golden mantella are also on the website too

Off-show philippine cockatoos are on the map as well
 
I looked at the interactive map. It does not show the tapirs or bears in Islands, so I wonder what exactly is its purpose?

I thought that too it's the same with the binturong perhaps it is as they are yet to move so it doesn't confuse the public??
 
They do update the locations of the animals when they move (they moved the sun bear marker from the old tiger enclosure to the jaguar house, for example), so I expect them simply to update again when the new Islands residents move over.

Of course, this does not explain why the magpies are labelled where they are - they are certainly not onshow yet!
 
Correct, and as such offshow - though just about visible as silhouettes through the netting and undergrowth if you stand in the right place at the right time.

It's not a new species for the zoo but I swear they have been moved around a lot when I have been visiting. I can remember them being in Spirit of the Jaguar, the Pudu enclosure, Mythical Macaws and Miniature Monkeys to name a few.
