Khao Kheow Open Zoo has become a viral sensation as “Moo Deng,” the world-famous and adorable baby hippo, continues to captivate tourists who flock to see her cuteness.

Recently, a group of businessmen from Dubai traveled to Thailand to donate 5 million baht to support Moo Deng and Khao Kheow Open Zoo. Mr. Atthaphon Sriran, Director of the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand, revealed that this generous donation was made due to the growing global popularity of Moo Deng. Previously, the zoo had also received support from investors in the cryptocurrency industry, with a donation of 35,882 baht under the name “Moodeng on ETH,” a meme coin inspired by this pygmy hippo.

 

The funds are expected to be used to improve the zoo and Moo Deng’s quality of life, enclosure, toys and for her daily needs as she grows and needs a substantial amount of food.
