Who is Moo Deng?
Moo Deng is a four-month-old baby pygmy hippopotamus who has taken social media by storm. She lives at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand, where fans from all over the world have flocked to see her in action.
Videos and photos of the baby hippo yelling at her zoo keepers, resting in a water bucket and enjoying a bath have garnered millions of views this summer. She correctly picked the winner of the presidential election earlier this month − which landed her in some hot water with Democrats.
Moo Deng was born on July 10 to mother Jona, 25, and father Tony, 24. She has two siblings, Pork Stew and Sweet Pork. She is also the granddaughter of Thailand's oldest hippo, Malee, who is 59.
Pygmy hippos are considered the smaller cousin to the common hippo, weighing less than one-fourth of a full-sized common hippo. Pygmies are native to West Africa and their average life expectancy is 27 years, according to the Pygmy Hippo Foundation.
In 2016, pygmy hippos were deemed an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. A 1993 survey conducted by IUCN found that only about 2,000-3,000 pygmies remained worldwide.
