Thai zoo implements time limit to visit viral hippo Moo Deng

Visitors hoping to see a pygmy hippopotamus will have a maximum of five minutes to do so, the Thai zoo where she lives announced Saturday. 

Moo Deng, who was born on July 10, 2024, to parents Tony and Jona, has become a bona fide viral sensation after images of her reacting strongly to a bath were shared earlier this month on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Since then, the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in the province of Chonburi has experienced a massive influx of visitors as people seek to get a glimpse of the baby hippo.
