Great list. I went a few months back. Seems some new animals were added or are in rotation with others Ive seen. Raccoons and bobcats were on display at the same time in different enclosures the last two times I visited and there was also a Crested Caracara by the Cypress Swamp as well as Wood Storks by the main mangrove area. Also I'm pretty sure the animal you listed as a Sheltopusik is actually a Florida Glass Snake (Ophisaurus sp) though I've never seen it out.
 
How the mighty have fallen.....

Since contributing to the "what happened to Lowry/Tampa Zoo", and for the heck of it listing my personal favorite FL facilities I wanted to take a look at Miami Metro (for the old folk on here)

These species are gone or leaving?

Gerenuk
Bantang
Black duiker
Somali Ass
Giant Eland
Gaur
Grants Gazelle
Thompson Gazelle

Gerenuk and both gazelles are all gone. They have Addra and Slender-horned.

Based on very recent updates, Somali Ass are now gone.

Black Duiker still signed with Okapi, but I have yet to see it.

Gaur is down to single female, and the elands are at 4 females.

Banteng still present with a few individuals.
 
I do not pay too much attention to the Miami threads so I could have missed the answer to this question. Where did the Grant's gazelles go?
Grant’s are a phase out species in the AZA, with only Busch Gardens still maintaining a mixed sex herd (Woodland Park has an all female herd), so unless they went to Busch, they were sent out to the private sector. If that’s the case, it is hard to say where they ended up as the species is around in private zoos, safaris, and ranches.

I knew all of this information but thanks for trying to help. I was just wondering if where the Grant's gazelles went is known, but I guess it is not.
