The viral trend of “Moo Deng,” (meaning Jiggly Piggy) a 2-month-old female pygmy hippopotamus, showing its adorable charm through video clips and photos on social media, has led to a continuous increase in visitors to Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Sri Racha, Chonburi Province, especially during weekends. Visitor statistics from the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand’s website show that visitor numbers have been steadily rising. From September 5 to September 11, 2024, there were 14,138 visitors, with 11,615 visitors during the weekend of September 7-8 alone. This is compared to around 9,000 visitors in each of the two previous weekends.  The hippo’s charm has reached beyond Thailand. On the X platform, a clay artist’s post of Moo Deng received over 100,000 likes and 10 million views. On Instagram, Korean singer Ningning of aespa, with over 8 million followers, also posted a picture of Moo Deng, further boosting her fame.  Moo Deng’s online fame is welcomed by Khao Kheow Open Zoo, alleviating concerns that the ticket price increase might reduce visitor numbers. Instead, zoo attendance is now increasing and is expected to continue rising, potentially providing sufficient income to cover all expenses and benefiting the overall zoo business in Thailand.

He's cute now but he's a future menace. Just because he's got pygmy in the name doesn't mean he's gonna be small - he could end up weighing 600lbs - and his teeth haven't developed yet.quote:Pygmy hippos yawn when threatened, revealing a pair of incisor teeth that look like a weapon out of Mortal Kombat. Their bite force clocks in at around 12.4 megapascals (1800 PSI), strong enough to obliterate cinder blocks and turn even the strongest human bone into confetti.

The mere idea that Moo Deng would ever do anything to hurt one inspires laughter in my soul. Please keep this ignorance out of Moo Deng's thread and do not sully it with your ramblings!

I like how soft jiggly funny faced hippos are the full throttle super fuckin invincible murder monsters of the river as opposed to massive tank-skinned landstompers with literal stabby horns on their face rhinos, who are pretty fuckin timid and sweet and sound like kazoos God messed up with that one Songbearer fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Sep 13, 2024 |

Tunicate posted:Good enough that in the early 1900s there was a planned program to breed them in the louisana swamps for their delicious brisket and bacon. Would have been an ecological disaster - similar to the hippos Escobar imported into Colombia. They poop a lot, causing algae blooms which suffocate the native river life. Which could lead to the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, one of the biggest carbon sinks and oxygen producers on the planet. They need to be culled but clueless idiots are campaigning against it because the hippos are 'cute'. At least if you don't watch the whole video, just watch the first 1.06 minutes. Some of the only sponsored content I had a genuine laugh at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNhKC6kCkR4&t=50s

Yeah, I think his Hippo video appeared in my youtube recommendations because I watch a lot of Casual Geographic and other wildlife vids. I did laugh at his sponsored content in that vid but watching some of his others... I'm not impressed.
