It is because to 'Zoo newshounds' like us this is sooooo repetitious, but you are exactly right- it is an important publicity tool for them at a very quiet time of year, which is why so many of them feature it on a regular basis.
I also heard Whipsnade mentioned in this context just the other day- now several days after New Year and ZSL's announcement.

Probably the best thing for me to do would be not to look at websites, read newspapers or watch the local news in early january! Trouble is the same would have to happen at easter or halloween too! Meerkats with eggs or pumpkins everywhere!
