Anyone know for sure if night hunters building is open yet?

Night hunters, jungle trail building, wolfwoods, wings of the world, education discovery (sloth exhibit) and all aviary areas are still closed as of July 4th.
A Red-crowned crane chick has hatched:

The chick hatched overnight on July 7 and is the first hatching of this species at the zoo since 2006.

Any info on when roo Valley opens.
Many on the membership Facebook page are saying next month. There's too much vegetation in the way to take a decent photo of the construction. From what I can see the sod and path in the kangaroo exhibit are complete, and the rope course is just about done. Only thing left is finishing the back fencing and cleaning up underneath the rope course.
Doesn’t the Cincinnati zoo though currently have an Indian rhino?
She died a couple months ago.
They've been saved, as somewhere in the forum someone said that they were sent off to Mast Farm
.
They are the same 3 boys that lived in Wildlife Canyon, they've been living off exhibit in Veldt
The Cincinnati zoo does have quite a lot of old animals and is one of the US zoos I know of with the most geriatric animals.

Not that it takes from away the effort from the list but Jati is 33
I think it's worth noting that Cincinnati also has some old bonobos as well. Vernon was wild-caught in 1970, but is still reproducing fifty years later! Lana was born in 1979.
A female Bonobo infant was born last week to Kesi:
New Baby Bonobo Born at the Cincinnati Zoo
The sire is Vernom and this is the 11th Bonobo born at the zoo.

It's hard to believe the baby is already here. It feels like it was yesterday that they announced Kesi was pregnant.
I don't like how the article says the bonobo is a type of chimpanzee.
