Based on an observation @Christopher81 made earlier today (07/05), it appears that (1.0) Mylo and (1.0) Ranger the white rhinos have departed for Zoo Knoxville, where they are now in quarantine at the time this was posted.
With this information in mind, that leaves Disney’s crash of rhinos at five females and no males.

Didn’t there used to be wallabies for a period of time?
As the argus chicks continue to grow by the day. The park announced that they relocated the adolescent birds from the Maharajah Jungle Trek’s aviary, and are now on display in the flying fox enclosure.
To clarify, there are three new wallabies that guests can expect to see in the Oasis.

Can confirm that young male Southern White Rhinoceroses Ranger and Mylo have indeed moved to Zoo Knoxville (it was not stated they came from Disney in the post, but they were born here a few years back and I don't think they left before moving there).

They were there last year, so I'm confident they have come straight from DAK.
From a photographer’s account on Instagram; the names of the new wallabies are confirmed to be (1.0) Hugh, (0.1) Chili, and (0.1) Lollie.
Recently, the park welcomed a new Common Brown Lemur (E. fulvus)* named (1.0) Merlot, who arrived from an unspecified facility.
With Merlot’s arrival, the island maintains either three species of lemur*; or that Merlot is really a misidentified Collared Lemur (E. collaris)

Earlier today, I found out from a keeper that the two argus chicks were finally sexed as a male and female. Additionally, I can also confirm that the names of these two are (1.0) Pablo and (0.1) Georgia respectively*.
*Named after the famous artists Pablo Picasso and Georgia O’Keeffe.
From an Instagram photographer’s story, it appears that the park quietly received (1.0) Theo, another male okapi, from the nearby Animal Kingdom Lodge.
At the time this was first posted, both he and (1.0) Elijah are on display together in the Gorilla Falls enclosure for this species.
