The zoo has updated their website to include a section for world of darkness, giving us the zoo’s (likely) final roster.

• Hoffmans Two Toed Sloth
• Egyptian Fruit Bats
• Naked Mole Rats
• Broad Snouted Caimans
• Pygmy Slow Loris
• Aye-Aye
• Northern Luzon Giant Cloud Rat
• Moholi Bushbaby
• Sand Cat
• Blood Python
• Common Vampire Bat
• Seba’s Short Tailed Bat
• Asian Forest Scorpion
• Douroucouli
• Timor Python
This is likely close to the zoo’s final species list for World of Darkness. All species can be found here, along with pictures of the habitat. World of Darkness - Bronx Zoo

Interesting. Wonder what they will do with the rest of the nocturnal galleries across the zoo.

The zoo replaced the bushbabies in the Mouse House with a Southern Giant Pouched Rat months ago. Hopefully they will bring in new species to replace the ones moving to WOD, but we'll see. I'm hoping we don't end up with four cloud rat displays across the zoo :p Though there are certainly worse things to have duplicate displays of!

Trying to plan a New York trip and really hoped to align it close to this opening. With this announcement, that looks tricky but doable!
