Guli last I remember is currently in the LPT Slow Loris backhouse so I feel like she might be unlikely, guess we gotta wait and see

I should also probably mention that the Mandai Instagram page has posted a video showing some parts of the Pangolin Trail, including some snippets of the new Pangolin signboard and the Pangolin Hut
The new homes for the arboreal creatures are apparently as high as 6 meters and look very lush, though I didn't see any water bodies in the video so still holding out hope I'll still get to see the Pangolins swimming in their new enclosure
Mandai Wildlife Reserve on Instagram: "Coming soon to Night Safari! A new walking trail that celebrates some of the native wildlife of Singapore and Malaysia. Here’s a peek at their new homes and how the nocturnal residents are settling in! #MandaiWildlifeReserve #NightSafari #NightSafari30"

@LeMandaiEnthusiast‧ In the video,what they mean by 6 new inhabitants?

It says 6 new habitats doesn't it? Not inhabitants? Or did I miss something
If it's habitats it's probably the ones that can be seen on the map.
Barn Owl, 2 Pangolin Enclosures, Leopard Cat, our 2 Civets (which probs live together if that's the case) and the Otters

@LeMandaiEnthusiast‧ ooops I read wrongly 
,based on the video,do you think it would be easier to spot the pangolin in their new enclosure compared to the one at leopard trail?

@LeMandaiEnthusiast‧ ooops I read wrongly
I can't completely tell as of right now, but the 6 meters tall enclosures might be quite a challenge though the Pangolin Hut might make things easier if say there's a 2nd story
I'm still going to bet on the new Pangolin Trail however since the Leopard Trail enclosure is just impossible to spot Berani if he decides to head to the back and chill

I know the Common Palms are from the show side, but not sure about the Small-Tootheds

@LeMandaiEnthusiast‧ Wait, I am a little confused. Is the pangolin hut and the 6-meter-tall enclosure the same thing, or are they two different enclosures?

I'm not too sure actually, the Pangolin Hut is probably the one with the 6 meter height but I know pretty much nothing for that 2nd enclosure but I did get some extra news with it
The Civet enclosure apparently has a 2nd story and yes, at least one Pangolin enclosure (which seems to be the main one with the 4 species) has a body of water so we'll get to see them swim once again
The Pangolin Hut seems to be a crouch down enter area or something like that, at least when I asked the keepers but I've mostly forgotten.

The body of water is probably for the second pangolin exhibit, as there were no water bodies visible in the 6-meter-tall enclosure as seen from the video.(It also probably wouldn't be safe for the other residents

Ironically when I asked the keeper they mentioned it was probably the opposite lmao. Well not exactly opposite, they said the main enclosure should have water but they forgot about the other
Also it can't be that bad can it? The Civets in the old enclosure always avoided the water. Mousedeer and Slow Lorises (The Bengal subspecies at least) can apparently swim and apparently Giant Flying Squirrels might be bad but can swim when needed

@LeMandaiEnthusiast‧The Sunda slow loris and spotted giant flying squirrel would paddle but not swim, which may create unnecessary stress for them.

Either way they're gonna be in the trees pretty much almost all the time, I doubt it's going to affect em too much
Especially with the Squirrel, who has had 2 homes with flowing bodies of water before

In their old walkthrough aviary and the Flying Fox Aviary by the FCT. Admittedly their first home's water was pretty shallow and the other was slightly deeper
But overall, I'm sure that they'll be fine

@LeMandaiEnthusiast‧ Is the tarsier at night safari still around?
Only one male is alive and he is planned to be shipped out

Most likely to be shipped out to another location where he will live the rest of his days. Unsure of location tho
