Everyone’s favorite pygmy hippo Moo Deng turned one yesterday. She went viral last September, but was born July 10th. Her zoo in Thailand celebrated by making her a 44-pound “cake” that was really just a big pile of fruit.
An influencer from New York named Molly Swindall loves Moo Deng and flew there for it. It’s the THIRD time she’s made the 8,600-mile trip to see her.
