“Slingshot Shocker: Tourist’s Reckless Act at Zoo Ignites Fury Over Moo Deng’s Safety!”
The Khao Kheow Open Zoo gained attention after sharing photos of Moo Deng, a baby pygmy hippopotamus, on its Facebook page.
Her name, which translates to “bouncy pig,” was chosen through a public poll that received votes from over 2,000 animal lovers.

The three-month-old hippo went viral for her stunned facial expressions in various situations. Her fame grew so quickly that the zoo trademarked her name and began selling shirts and pants featuring her image.
Last month, the zoo raised concerns after reporting that several visitors had been throwing objects at her in an attempt to wake her up.
Pygmy hippos are an endangered species, with only 3,000 left in the wild, as per the Pygmy Hippo Foundation.
Bored Panda has contacted the Khao Kheow Open Zoo for comment.
