From Grumpy Cat to Doug the Pug, social media has introduced us to many amazing animals over the years, and Moo Deng is the next one in line. This adorable pigmy hippo found viral fame after the staff of the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand started sharing her silly shenanigans online.\n\n\n\n

Moo Deng was born at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo back in July, and she became a huge hit with zoo visitors long before finding viral fame. The zoo built the hype for her birth by launching an online poll, allowing visitors to choose her name and 20,000 of them decided to go with Moo Deng aka \u201cbouncy pork\u201d.\n\n\n\n

Moo Deng became a viral sensation outside of Thailand after zookeepers started filming her and sharing her videos online. They show her doing everything from learning how to walk, drinking water, nipping on everything from grass to zookeepers\u2019 knees, and simply being her adorable self.\n\n\n\n
