Baby Hippo Moo Deng Is a Social Media Star
September 16, 2024
A 2-month old hippopotamus with social media clout is attracting visitors to a Thai zoo. Moo Deng, a wiggly pygmy hippo, has quite a fanbase online. Her first video clip got over 20 million views. Zoo officials have had to limit time in Moo Deng's viewing area to five minutes per person on weekends because the lines to see her were too long. Pygmy hippos are an endangered species. There are only 2,000 alive in the wild.
