San Diego Zoo does also has a eurasian eagle owl or possibly multiple as ambassador animals. The day I went two of the scheduled times to meet an ambassador animal ended up both being Eurasian eagle owls 
. Kind of sucked to show up to see a duplicate animal.

The main free shows are, all rotate through their animals at random:
12pm Africa Rocks stage, I have seen an Aardvark, Serval, and an Owl.
1pm Basecamp has 30 to 40 animals they rotate through, typically 1 per day, but occasionally they have a pre-show or a 2nd animal. This is where a Sloth, wombat, Pygmy falcon, tamandua, beaver, north American and Brazilian Porcupines, Hero Rats, and many others.
2pm Wildlife Wonders show in the Wegeforth Bowl has 4+ animals on stage. They have about 30+ animals also. Zoo members can be seated at 1:40pm, day pass at 1:50pm. They do a pre-show for members at times and even for all!! They have a sloth, cheetah/dog duo, N. American porcupine, opossum, 3 wolves, New Guinea singing dogs, beaver, macaws, tenrec, raccoon, owl, hawks, Andean Condor, and more!!
There are various tours you can purchase.
There is a 1pm Animals in Action behind the scenes show that has various animals, such as a clouded leopard, sloth, cheetah, African Porcupines, and many others. They rotate through multiple animals, and when I went we were able to feed the Giraffes also!!
I know I am missing many of the animals, but that's what I can think of right now. Download the zoo app and they have their animals listed with a description.
