CHONBURI, THAILAND - NOVEMBER 11: Moo Deng splashes in a bucket of water in her enclosure at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo on November 11, 2024 in Pattaya, Thailand. Moo Deng, a pygmy hippo born on July 10, 2024, at Thailand's Khao Kheow Open Zoo, became a global viral sensation, drawing thousands of visitors daily and boosting the local economy. Her popularity led the zoo to sell Moo Deng-themed merchandise, partner with Thai brands, and limit visitor time to just 5 minutes to reduce wait times. "Moo Deng," meaning "bouncy pork" in Thai, reflects the baby hippo's feisty nature. (Photo by Lauren DeCicca/Getty Images)
