Moo Deng, Patented Pygmy

Moo Deng, the chubby baby pygmy hippo and mega meme mistress, is a hot property. That’s why the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Bangkok plans to obtain trademark rights so that the superstar can raise funds to help her home zoo.

Moo Deng, a baby pygmy hippo, tries to bite the arm of her caretaker.
Unauthorized use? That’s a chompin’!

    That’s it. Shut down the internet. Moo Deng has won it all.

    Gah, my brain was already turning to mush from a hectic day at work but now I’m done, it’s melted, the brain is gone. How can so much cuteness be legal????

    I knew her when…

    (Was gonna share this over the weekend but changed my mind. Fits better here, anyway.)

      That is FANTASTIC. I’m ROFLMAOing here.

        My favorite comment on the full video that this came from (which has other non-cute stuff in it):

        “Moo Deng is a very nice cat, but why is it so moist?”

        😊

    So “moo” apparently means pork/pig. Does “oink” mean cow?

    Such a sassy one! I’m glad they can use her face to make money for the zoo. (Wish I could see the Twitter vids, but I refuse to join!)

      I can watch them and I’m not on Xitter. They always want me to sign in but I don’t.

      • allein 🐾 September 24, 2024 / 9:48 pm

        I don’t have a tweeter account, either, but I can watch them. Can you close out of the sign in box?

        • 6rabbits September 25, 2024 / 8:35 am

          I discovered I can watch the second one here, but the first one keeps taking me to large sign-in page. So🤷🏼‍♀️

            🙁 I blame Leon Musk.

    • 6rabbits September 25, 2024 / 8:31 am

      There is no way to x out of the page it sends me to.
      I can do that with Tik Tok and Facebook, but not with this one.🫤

    I’m imagining Fiona some where muttering:

    There’s always someone younger and hungrier coming down the stairs after you.

    But fiona will always be beloved in our hearts

      Oh wait,

      Fiona’s a fan too!

        Hippos like cute baby videos too!

    I love how much attitude babby hippos have. And the sheer focus of that chomp!
