Moo Deng, the pygmy hippopotamus who became a viral sensation thanks to her rosy cheeks and chaotic charm, turned one on 10 July, with the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand hosting a four-day festival to mark the occasion.
The celebrations began on Asalha Puja, a Thai public holiday, and will run until 13 July at the zoo’s hippo enclosure in Chonburi province, about two hours from Bangkok. Moo Deng was given a massive tropical fruit platter as throngs of adoring fans turned up for her four-day party.
