Moo Deng, a two-month-old pygmy hippo at Thailand's Khao Kheow Open Zoo, has become an internet sensation due to her cute and playful nature. Her popularity skyrocketed after zookeeper Atthapon Nundee began sharing videos of her, resulting in millions of views and a significant increase in zoo attendance. Moo Deng's fame has led to the creation of memes, cartoons, and social media posts by various global entities, further boosting her celebrity status. In response to her newfound fame, the zoo is working on patenting and trademarking her name to prevent unauthorized commercialization and to support animal welfare activities. The pygmy hippo species is endangered, with conservation efforts critical for their survival. The zoo has also installed CCTV cameras for her protection and limited visitation to five minutes on weekends due to troubling behavior from some visitors.
