Thai hippopotamus caused a fever with the "god-like prophecy" of Mr. Trump becoming the US President

After the god-like prophecy about Donald Trump's re-election and becoming the 47th President of the United States, all information about the dwarf hippo at Khao Kheow Zoo in Chonburi Province (Thailand) was eagerly searched by netizens.

On November 4, Moo Deng, a famous dwarf hippopotamus from Khao Kheow Zoo in Chonburi Province (Thailand), correctly predicted that Donald Trump would win the race for the White House against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris through fruit selection.

Accordingly, zoo staff brought out 2 plates of pumpkin fruit containing apples, carrots, dragon fruit, and watermelon into the hippo's cage. One plate engraved with Donald Trump's name and the other fruit plate engraved with Kamala Harris' name.

As soon as he saw the two plates of fruit, the dwarf hippopoise slowly walked over to the plate of fruit engraved with Mr. Trump's name and quickly enjoyed it. Meanwhile, Moo Deng's mother chose the other plate of fruit. At that time, there were many people standing around the barn cheering.

On November 6, a series of major US media outlets reported that Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris, winning the minimum number of electoral votes of 270 to become the 47th president of the United States.

Immediately, the video of Moo Deng's accurate prediction caused a fever. Along with that, the number of searches for information about the animal also skyrocketed.

With flushed cheeks, beautiful small ears and a few milk teeth, the dwarf hippopotamus Moo Deng is nearly 4 months old, becoming an online phenomenon that makes many people "crazy" after the viral videos on social networks.

Born in July 2024, Moo Deng's name means "jumping pig" in Thai. This hippo is the grandson of Thailand's oldest hippo. It is Malee, 59 years old.

Moo Deng became a phenomenon on Thai social networks after Khao Kheow Zoo posted adorable daily images of this hippopotamus. Khao Kheow Zoo also regularly welcomes a huge number of visitors to see and "check-in" with Moo Deng.

Mr. Narungwit Chodchoy, director of Khao Kheow Zoo, expressed his pride mixed with surprise when he saw the increasing number of visitors.

"On weekdays or off-peak tourist periods, in the rainy season, we only welcome about 800 guests per day. But since Moo Deng appeared, the number of visitors at the off-peak period has also reached 3,000 to 4,000 arrivals. On weekends, visitors can skyrocket to 20,000. Most of them have the purpose of wanting to see this dwarf hippo," the director shared.

In order to meet the needs of visitors, a representative of the zoo said that it will arrange more standardized services for more and more people to know.

As one of the visitors to the zoo on this occasion, Ms. Ekaphak Mahasawad, 45, said she drove from Bangkok at 6:30 a.m. and spent more than two hours coming here just to see the adorable hippo.

"Seeing Moo Deng online is not enough. I want to see what it looks like on the outside," Mahasawad said cheerfully.

Moo Deng belongs to the dwarf hippopotamus, which is only half the size of the common hippopotamus. This hippopotamus is native to West Africa with an average lifespan of about 27 years.

In 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) considered the pygmy hippopotamus to be endangered. A survey conducted by the IUCN in 1993 showed that there are only about 2,000-3,000 of these individuals left worldwide.

Moo Deng is very popular in the US. It was once mentioned in comedian Bowen Yang's skit on Saturday Night Live. Moo Deng also defeated both Trump and Harris in an unofficial presidential poll hosted by "The Tonight Show," winning more than 93 percent of the vote.
