When born, Cleo and the calf will live in the capybara exhibit for a bit, since the water there is shallower, until zoo staff decide that the calf is ready for the deeper waters of the normal pygmy hippo exhibit / pool. Ino will still go on exhibit in the normal pygmy hippo exhibit during this time period.

Why not just phase out the capybara and devote both yards to pygmy hippo?

I'm not sure, but honestly I'd guess that there's a chance they might. They only have one capybara anyway, and she is very shy, and the exhibit isn't really a favorite for most visitors.
