Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo knows what the people want, and the people want more baby hippo. After hundreds of memes began circulating online of a 2-month-old pygmy hippo named Moo Denga, the certified cutie pie will be live-streamed 24/7 in the coming week per AP News as she’s stolen pretty much everyone’s hearts. How could she not? She has little teeny, tiny baby chompers, she’s perpetually wet, and her name means bouncy pork.
It’s the ultimate recipe for internet cuteness. Her zookeeper, Atthapon Nundee , began posting videos of her and other animals in his care, but Deng stole the show. The micro-influencer has dramatically increased visitors to the zoo, with over 10,000 visiting on the weekends.
At least she’s using her newfound fame for a live stream, not a podcast. Below are some posts from her biggest fans: a second Moo Deng snot bubble video has hit the internet pic.twitter.
