THE country’s pygmy hippo Moo Deng marked her first birthday, drawing crowds of diehard fans even as she left behind the cute animal infancy that earned her worldwide Internet fame.
Big crowds were expected at a four-day festival starting yesterday at Khao Kheow Open Zoo where Moo Deng – meaning “Bouncy Pork” in Thai – frolicked to stardom and amassed five million social media followers.
