Conquering Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Si Racha, Chonburi, Thailand, Moo Deng, a three-month-old pygmy hippo, wins this year’s “It-girl” award, capturing the hearts of millions around the globe.
Moo Deng, or “bouncy pork” in Thai, has become a viral sensation across social media platforms. Born on July 10, 2024, Moo Deng embodies the Cancer’s zodiac reputation: emotional, temperamental, and spiteful. From biting her zookeeper’s leg to fighting with water, she’s not just an icon, she’s a lifestyle.
We all have a little bit of Moo Deng inside us.
She is:
- Round
- Always screaming
- Mysteriously moist
- Almost always blurry in photos
Her dewy, yet always plump skin puts all the ‘clean girl aesthetic’ wannabes to shame, and her brat personality is untouched. While many pay thousands of dollars to get a natural look, Moo Deng’s existence simply accomplishes that.
If she ever went on a date, she would probably order 3 plates of food, but that’s okay: we love her being unapologetically her. As a trendsetter and status quo changer, Moo Deng is who the public aspires to become. She is not a conformist, she lives by her own rules. We love a queen that doesn’t take orders from humans. 🙌
Not only has Moo Deng blessed the world with her presence, but her rise to fame has also helped raise public awareness on her species’ endangerment. She’s an activist and change-maker, what more could you possibly look for in a pygmy!
Stealing hearts left and right, this three-month-old pygmy hippo still has much to learn about the world, but the world already knows about her.
