Meet baby hippo Moo Deng, the internet’s new favorite main character
The internet has fallen in love with a baby hippo — yes, again — and this time, it’s an adorable little girl named Moo Deng.
Moo Deng is a two-month-old female pygmy hippopotamus at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. And, to be fair, she is so freaking cute.
Moo Deng, whose name translates roughly to “bouncy pig,” according to the BBC, has gotten lots of love online after the zoo began posting pics of her.

The love comes from her cuteness and the fact that baby hippos are somewhat strange creatures. They’re a bit slimy and wet at all times. They’re simultaneously cute and a little gross. They’re pudgy, waddling, and fantastic. So, of course everyone loves Moo Deng.
The internet has been obsessed with a baby hippo before. Everyone was, and some remain, obsessed with the Cincinnati Zoo’s hippo Fiona, who Mashable rightly described in 2018 as the “world’s most beloved hippo.” Though maybe Moo Deng is now competing for that title.
