Update from most recent visit:
Meerkats are off display and there is a sign in the enclosure......
1.0 Sombar was out in the primate trail today looking very sleepy on top of his crate, photo below:
Got to see the new dino setup as mentioned by ramsayi:
Jaya was very calm around me and did not hiss or roar but instead came closer which is a good sign.... Tested the water bottle theory.... he did not care

What species is Dangalabba?
It’s this crocodile (though at first I wondered the same thing):
From Perth Zoo’s news section:
Our snappiest new family member is a large four metre male Estuarine Crocodile named Dangalabba, which means crocodile in the language of the Larrakia people, the traditional owners of the land and waters around Darwin, his original hatching place.
Dangalabba is a rescue crocodile who has lived at a crocodile farm in Broome for many years after being removed from Darwin Harbour by wildlife officers who were concerned about public safety. He is estimated to be approximately 35 – 42 years of age and is described as a ‘big boy’ in the prime of his life.

Which species is Sombar? It is best to state the species as an individual animal when mentioning them by name since not all people reading this know all the individual animals in the zoo by name. Same thing with Jaya, I am also unsure which species he is.
Red Panda and Sumatran Tiger.
What is this supposed to mean? You aren't posting for the benefit of the couple of people who know every animal at this zoo by name - posts are for everybody on the forum all over the world to read.

I don't understand?
Stating the species makes the post inclusive to everyone on the forum because it provides context to what’s being discussed.
Not everyone reading the post will know the names of all (or any) animals at Perth Zoo. Yes, they can search it; but it’s more convenient to have the information to hand. It only takes a couple of seconds to write ‘Jaya the Sumatran tiger’ for example.
