The 2-month-old female pygmy hippo has become an internet star. A bakery in Bangkok said Sunday on Facebook that it would have to limit orders for its Moo Deng look-alike cakes because demand was so high. Other videos of Moo Deng on the TikTok account also have millions of views. Pygmy hippos have been classified as an endangered species, with their numbers dwindling from poaching and just 2,000 of them believed to be alive in the wild, according to the Pygmy Hippo Foundation. An adult pygmy hippo can live up to 50 years and reach half the height of a full-size hippo.

While she continues to draw admirers in person, Moo Deng has found her biggest stardom online. “This will be the time Moo Deng will be energetic as the keeper will splash the water around,” he said. Another good time would be in the afternoon when the keeper feeds her mother, as Moo Deng follows her around.
