Not at the moment. They and the specalist vet said they hoped he might still be able to breed but I think that bit was more for the cameras than anything else.

Nisha can't count (obviously)
Counting bongos doesn’t work for everyone, you may need to change tactics.I don't know why Nisha, I taught you.
I had started to look them up when you posted this
The original plans for the Islands development and the detailed plans for the individual buildings are all listed on this page, so there are a lot of documents because this such a large project. The plans were revised so the plans at the top of the page are closer to what was actually built.

But see my next post.
There are more detailed revised plans for some parts of Islands here.

The second tiger enclosure on the original plans was never built, that area became the new area for sun bears. At the same time the plans for the tapirs were revised and a new aviary was added.

The latest addition to Islands is the exhibit for tree kangaroo and pademelons

Unfortunately among all these papers I cannot find a single plan for the Monsoon Forest as it was actually built, although there a lots of detailed plans of different parts of the building. Incidentally in the plans it is called the Indonesian Showhouse (I wonder if the zoo paid someone for thinking up the name Monsoon Forest).

I am doing a keeper for a day on wed on the Rhino section if anyone has a questions I will pass them on.Today's headline news is Olivia Colman's Oscar. Her performance as Queen Anne must have been developed in the light of her experience doing the voiceover for the first six series of 'The Secret Life'. Well done her

So the only ones I would think that may possibly move on could be Embu and Gabe at the moment. I would think Hazina will definitely stay as she`s Kitani`s only daughter.
