Almost looks like an old film photograph. The little fellow is adorable, right down to his huge ears. :) I'm not sure how many zoos would use BW to advertise, though, even if it were this adorable... Not voting.

How many times are you gonna get 'Awww, how cute is that! Well, at least one more I guess huh!?!?!?! The photo looks kinda noisy to me and out of focus here and there but it seems to be working for me. Nice work!

Beautiful shot - lovely tons and light, and a very wistful look from your subject. Nice minimal text and good addition of the website address.
