Unfortunately Kirina the second elephant at the zoo who was to give birth had a stillbirth and lost her calf. She is doing well and recovering but there will only be one new baby calf in the herd, Batu the Male born a few months earlier.

Is she a primiparous female?

It may or may not happen in primiparous females to lose a calf or have a stillbirth. While it remains dramatic, if elephants do conceive and give birth once they will re-breed and any further births will be more or less without any complications (this goes down to historical stats ... rest assured).
 
Just received my quarterly news magazine from the zoo and they have announced they will be adding Takin soon. No date has been set but they will most likely be taking the former Bighorn Sheep exhibit next to the Markhor and Guanacos.

Although it's exciting the zoo is getting a clouded leopard, I can't help feel sad for it as I picture its indoor, cramped exhibit.

The zoo actually had Clouded Leopards years ago, they were located in the current Sloth Exhibit at the entrance of the Adaptions exhibits. I'm not sure where they are placing them but there's only really two locations big enough the sloth exhibit or the larger Ocelot exhibit.
 
Just visited the zoo the other day, the new Clouded Leopard is indeed in the former Ocelot exhibit and the Ocelot will be moving to the former Fossa exhibit in the social animal house. Also a White Necked Raven currently resides in the former Meetkat exhibit.

Does the zoo no longer have fossa?

I don't believe so, I haven't seen one in awhile and they at one point had a male and female. Recently the original Fossa exhibit was inhabited by fennec foxes and the larger exhibit is now occupied by a pair of colobus monkeys.
