The Pygmy Hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) is a down-sized version of the regular hippopotamus, that lives mostly in West Africa, with populations in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Ivory Coast. Smaller and rather less aggressive than their larger cousins, the common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), they aren’t terribly common critters, with good numbers of the existing populations currently living in zoos.
One of those zoos is Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo, which has a brand-new baby pygmy hippo named Moo Deng (“bouncy pork”) and she is stinkin’ adorable.
Only a month after Thailand’s adorable baby hippo Moo Deng was unveiled on Facebook, her fame became unstoppable.
Fans unable to make the two-hour drive to Khao Kheow Open Zoo from the Thai capital Bangkok to see her in person can watch her video clips online, or simply scroll through social media to savor meme…
