Viral Baby Hippo Moo Deng Draws Thousands to Thai Zoo

The two-month-old pygmy hippo's cuteness has captivated the internet, leading to a surge in zoo visitors and global online fame.

Moo Deng, born in July at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand, has become a viral sensation with her adorable features.
The zoo has seen a dramatic increase in visitors, from 800 to over 4,000 on weekdays, due to her popularity.
Fans have created memes, cartoons, and even latte art inspired by Moo Deng, and businesses are using her image in promotions.
The zoo is now limiting public access to Moo Deng’s enclosure to 5-minute windows on weekends to manage the crowds.
To protect her and other animals, the zoo has implemented measures against mistreatment and plans to start a 24-hour live feed.
