I wondered for a moment if something had happened to Kevin Bell, but I see here that the position of executive officer and zoo director are separate, and now feel silly for not realizing it before. Interesting.
The zoo held a goodbye party this morning for their red pandas. It is a secret where they are going, for now.
The Amur leopard has already left the zoo. They are allowing their cougar access to both her exhibit and the former Amur leopard exhibit before she leaves.
All of the Kovler Lion House will be leaving permanently. That includes the current lions. They will be leaving in the spring. They will likely be replaced by a younger lion pair by the time the renovations are completed in about 2 to 3 years from now.

Is there any update on what species will be returning? Lions most definitely
No updates on that, but yes, lions will definitely be a big part of the renovation.
Did the Zoo provide renderings of the new complex?
Not yet, likely not until early next year.

Correct.
