Baby pygmy hippo in Thailand becomes online sensation | ABS-CBN News

A 2-month-old female pygmy hippopotamus named 'Moo Deng' has become an internet sensation after videos of her interactions with her keeper melted hearts around the world, drawing large crowds to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand’s eastern Chonburi Province.
Footage from Saturday (September 14) showed tourists crowding her enclosure as she ate with her mother. One visitor told local public broadcaster Thai PBS that the tiny semiaquatic mammal was “cute when her flubber shakes”.
Norrawit Chodchoi, the director of the Khao Kheow Open Zoo, said visitors had been queuing 45 minutes before the enclosure's opening, adding that the zoo would start to re-organise the lines for efficiency so that more people could catch a glimpse of Moo Deng.
Moo Deng, which translates in Thai to 'bouncing pig', is also the granddaughter of 59-year-old female hippo ‘Malee’ who just celebrated her birthday and is Thailand’s oldest hippo at the zoo.
