Completely adorable, Liz - and photographed so very well to give such detail in that challenging situation. I love the composition and the rapt expression on baby's face.

Liz, this is an amazing shot. I could see this on the cover of a wildlife magazine. Such sweet and expressive eyes and placement of his hand. The fly on his nose adds even more interest.

What a great shot of the new baby. He (she?) is very sharp, the bedding (or whatever that is behind the baby) is crisp and the youngun stands out quite well. Very, very nice.

Such soulful eyes. This is an amazing zoo capture. Not just zoo capture. It's an amazing wildlife photo. The two linked photos are maybe even more amazing. You have a great talent for wildlife photography.

Now that is a great shot, and so glad you were able to capture one of the baby. It is not often we get to see that with baby animals at a Zoo.
