Moo Deng, ababy pygmy hippopotamus from Thailand, is an internet sensation.
Moo Deng, a baby pygmy hippopotamus from Thailand has taken the role of a prophet, ahead of the US election 2024. In a neck-to-neck race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris for the seat of US President, the baby hippo chose his winner – Donald Trump.
In a viral video, the internet sensation Moo Deng is called out of water, with food as the bait. The baby hippo is given two watermelons with candidates' names written over them. She walks straight to the fruit basket, made using a watermelon shell, for the Republican leader and relishes it to the core. The video was recorded at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Si Racha, Thailand.
