A bit of a puzzling move to Puebla as they hold Southern African minor and male Juba is an East African michaeli black rhino.
From CMZ's Facebook:
We regret to announce the death of Travis the giraffe. He passed away on Friday morning June 24 due to an acute and untreatable urinary condition. This is an extremely difficult loss for everyone connected with Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

Travis, the zoo's adult male giraffe, has died.

He was on exhibit with the females several weeks ago.
The zoo plans to put a hay barn in the old rhino parking lot between the hospital and the bridge.

I would assume they would just store their hay in it.

That is correct.
A sixteen year old male black rhino named Forrest is now at the CMZ.
Male Forrest came from which other zoo?
Busch Gardens.
New harbor seal in Wilderness Trek
Welcome to Onion, a young male harbor seal who is the newest resident of the seal and sea lion exhibit in Wilderness Trek. He was found stranded on Herring Cove Beach in Provincetown, Massachusetts, last year and was rescued by the International Fund for Animal Welfare and admitted to the National Marine Life Center’s animal hospital for rehabilitation.
While recovering, Onion developed an eye infection that caused blindness in his right eye and a lesion in his left (good) eye. Because of this, Onion was unable to be released into the wild. With the approval of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the agency that oversees marine mammals, the decision was made to place Onion into human care. The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo came to Onion’s rescue, offering him a permanent home in their seal and sea lion exhibit.
Onion is the smallest of the pinnipeds in the habitat, which is also home to two California sea lions (Annabelle and Buzz) and one other harbor seal (Nemo). Be sure to visit him this fall!

The former Camel exhibit in Northern Trek is under renovation. Jump barriers have been placed around the walls and a mound of blocks is being built.
Squirrel monkey exhibit is being renovated. The female howler monkeys have been separated from the male. Don't know what happened to the other male howler monkey.
Shark exhibit still not open.
Also surprised to see the black swan was still on display in Australian Adventure.

Some parts of the zoo will be empty, with most of their inhabitants off exhibit for the season (most of the African and Australian sections - though sometimes animals will be allowed out, weather permitting)), while the Northern Trek area should have most all of its inhabitants out. There is indoor/winter viewing for some species (e.g., the colobus monkeys from monkey island, the rhinos, the flamingos, often the giraffes) and some species can be moved to other locations where they can be viewed during colder times (often the primates that spend the summer on waterfowl lake islands can be moved to Primates, Cats, and Aquatics). The Primates, Cats, and Aquatics and Rain Forest buildings are always open. While a fair portion of the zoo will be inaccessible during winter, in terms of species, not too much has to be missed (just the African hoofstock and birds, some kangaroos and wallabies, and a few other species here and there).
