Alongside what @Zoofan15 has mentioned above:
Koalas - 0.1 Poppy, 0.1 Ruby and 0.1 Nyla
Servals - 0.1 Nanki and 0.1 Morilli
Check out my zebra population thread for the names of some of the zebra (although I do note there are a few additions; a population list update will come in the new year).
I know some names of some other species at the facility as well, but am just not aware if they are specifically still at Werribee or not.
@ReturnOfPaddyRick, I also believe I have the names of the leopard tortoises down somewhere which I could locate if that's something that your interested in.
Also if your interested in the same for Melbourne; here's a thread with names that I created a while back - Melbourne Zoo Species List [Melbourne Zoo]
