There is quite a few questions here and some of which I can answer but some I might need some help with...
Eurasia:
To begin, the project was supposed to start construction on May 1st however, as some of you might have noticed, that has not been the case. Demo is to begin some time in June, but thats just demo as for the construction of new exhibits all I know of for sure is that the pandas will be put into the amur tiger exhibit with renos, the snow leopards are getting a new exhibit and we will see new exhibits/additions of stellers sea eagles and eurasian eagle owls. The specific buildings are mentioned to the demod include ones listed in this document http://www.torontozoo.com/pdfs/rfp/12-1187-00126- DSS Letter.pdf
They include the oryx, mouflon, amur tiger and two marco polo buildings. The mouflon have been moved to another holding on zoo grounds.
Animals to stay are as follows: (WITH CANADIAN WILDERNESS COMPLETION)
Bactrian camel, Domestic Yak, Przewalski's horse, Snow leopard, Dromedary camel (are seen every now and then as they are camel rides camels and not owned by Toronto), Mouflon, red panda
There will be a new zoomobile route that will cut across Eurasia just past the old wisent exhibit and run in front of the barbary apes, dholes and snow leopards that is supposed to have opened up May 1st as well but we are still waiting for that project to begin. There will also be drive through animal exhibits with the horses, mouflon to be moved to the Oryx's old exhibit and yaks. NOTE: this route is temporary as these animals will be moved to make way for the Canadian Wilderness when that project starts. (includes the snow leopard (which will be moved to a new exhibit), barbary apes, and dholes.
Unsure:
Asiatic wild dog, Barbary ape, Barbary sheep, Chamois, West Caucasian Tur
Reindeer moved to Tundra
If this is confusing let me know and I will try and state it more clearly.

Hippos: we have 3 hippos at the zoo 1 male and 2 females. The two females Petal and Perky you probably see on exhibit when you are at the zoo, the only male Samson is by himself, they do alternate on exhibit usually you will see Samson in the morning and the girls in the afternoon. They are separated because they are siblings.
Cheetahs: from what I have heard, they have been pairing some cheetahs up so lets hope for the best
Hudson: put it this way he does not look like a stuffed teddy bear anymore he is growing fast and looks like a miniature polar bear now!
