What happened to Reticulated Giraffe Bakari?
According to the studbook, he passed away on November 8, 2016. I don't believe the zoo ever publicly announced the death. The last time he was mentioned was when Buttercup arrived in October of 2016.
Leah the Common chimpanzee has died:
Oregon Zoo says goodbye to elderly chimpanzee Leah - KTVZ
Leah was born on May 15, 1974, at the Oregon Zoo, then known as the Portland Zoological Gardens. Around that time, the zoo’s pioneering work with chimpanzees drew the attention of renowned conservationist Jane Goodall, who visited regularly, getting to know Leah and the others.
At 47, Leah was one of the oldest animals at the zoo but still considered the “baby” of Portland’s very elderly chimp group. She is survived by her big sister Delilah, who turns 49 next month; male chimp Jackson, 50; and the troop leader Chloe, 53.

Oregon Zoo welcomes baby orangutan
The Oregon Zoo welcomed a new addition, as 20-year-old Bornean orangutan Kitra gave birth to a new baby this week.
Caregivers won’t know whether the newborn is male or female for a few weeks. Once the pair are feeling comfortable and healthy, animal-care staff will determine whether they are ready for a public debut.

The Bornean orangutan infant is a female and has been named Jolene:
After weeks of consideration, Oregon Zoo names baby orangutan
Inspired by the line in the Dolly Parton classic that goes, “Your beauty is beyond compare / with flaming locks of auburn hair,” the baby will be called Jolene, according to the Oregon Zoo.
“Once we confirmed she was a girl, our keeper team knew right away what they wanted to call her. They’ve been playing the song on repeat ever since!” (And I thought New Zealand’s zoos had problems with “I Like to Move It” vis a vis Ring-tailed lemurs
).

Five chimps have arrived at the zoo's recently opened Primate Forest habitat from Emory National Primate Research Center in Atlanta. The male (20-year old Pericles) and four females (37-year old Suwanee, 32-year old Daisey, 28-year old Missy, and 23-year old Julianne) will be joining longtime residents, Chloe, Delilah, and Jackson.
