Can I assume Mbuti no longer lives in London. And do Ede and Oni still live there?
If the new one would come from YWP, it probably is Mzimu.

Mbuti and Ede both passed away in the last couple years - Oni is still present
Visit today, a new okapi was on show and new reptile house was closed.
If anybody has a picture of the new male okapi, we could compare the pattern with that of Mzimu.
That's what I was basing my assumption on. But he's still quite young, only around 2. I don't know at what age they are considered mature/capable of breeding- 3 or 4 maybe? But he's the obvious choice without the hassle of importing one, which could have taken months(or even longer nowadays...?)

Good speedy result! . Compare this to YWP video of 'Mzimu's first steps outside' and I'm 99% certain its a match for him. He is now two and a half years old.

From my Experience, the Aye-Aye can be rather unpredictable. I typically go round the ‘Pink’ Zone Early in the Morning, when I first arrive, to see other species such as the Pygmy Hippo and The Rainforest Building before the public for a nicer, quieter journey. On my last visit, I saw the Aye-Aye at around 10ish. Hope this helps

I've always found them to be quite showy at London somehow, but it's definitely worth going early to try and spot them.
I don't see them every visit, but towards the start and end of the day seem to be the most likely times. Check the small glass window to the left of the main window, I tend to see them in that smaller room more than in the main enclosure
Yes to this, think I have only seen them in the main enclosure once or twice, but much more frequently in the side room.
Went today and SLORA was open
No the crocodile part of the exhibit is boarded up today.
Crispin and Zac are still at London Zoo, a delay in them leaving. Could be at London for a couple more months
I remember one time there was a whole side of mango on the ledge in the small window which the female was tucking into right in front of us which was memorable.
