A Zoo In Thailand Has Welcomed A Baby Hippo Named “Bouncy Pork” Who Looks Distressed All The Time
The baby pygmy hippopotamus has become an viral sensation, spawning memes all over the Internet.
On July 10, the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand's Chon Buri province welcomed a female pygmy hippopotamus.
As is the zoo's common practice, it held a naming contest for the newborn baby hippo.
On the poll, people were given the option to choose from three names: Moo Deng, which means bouncy pork in Thai, Moo Dang(red pork) and Moo Sub, (minced pork).
The poll, which was held on Facebook, gained more than 20,000 votes, according to the zoo's announcement, and on Aug. 20, the zoo announced the baby hippo's name would be Moo Deng.
Moo Deng has since taken social media by storm, going viral on X for looking distressed all the time.
The zoo has taken to sharing videos and photos from her daily life, and people online are enjoying watching her grow.
People have even started to turn Moo Deng's hilariously relatable expressions into cute illustrations and memes.
The zoo has since started social media accounts dedicated to Moo Deng updates.
Most recently, Moo Deng got new teeth so she has been enjoying biting things, such as the zookeepers' arms and knees.
