They had the Big Birds exhibits, which were lawns for [[ostrich]]es, [[emu]]s, [[Rhea (bird)|rhea]]s, and [[Southern cassowary|cassowaries]]. Due to budget cuts and the unpopularity of many of the species, the zoo was forced to close the exhibit in 2009.<ref name="ReferenceA"/><ref name="dailyfinance.com"/>

While most of the species left the zoo when the exhibit closed, the Formosan sika deer were moved to the Wild Asia Monorail and the Père David's deer remained in their primary enclosure across from Tiger Mountain while the blue-eyed black lemurs were moved to Madagascar! where they are rotated with the Coquerel's sifakas. While no longer at the zoo, pied ruffed lemurs can still be seen at the zoo's partner institute, the [[Central Park Zoo]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://centralparkzoo.com/exhibits/tropic-zone-the-rainforest |title=Tropic Zone: The Rainforest – Central Park Zoo |access-date=March 2, 2016 |archive-date=March 3, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303042906/http://centralparkzoo.com/exhibits/tropic-zone-the-rainforest |url-status=live}}</ref> The zoo's popular Dinosaur Safari ran through a part of this area and the zoo's yearly Run for the Wild event runs through its entirety.
