Thai zoo celebrates famous pygmy hippo's second birthday

Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chon Buri, Thailand, recently celebrated the second birthday of its famous pygmy hippo, Moo Deng. The event, complete with cake, saw Moo Deng and her mother Jona enjoying the festivities. This celebration highlights the zoo's efforts in conservation and education, particularly for pygmy hippos, which are critically endangered with fewer than 2,000 individuals remaining in the wild. The birthday event also underscores the zoo's role in raising awareness about endangered species and supporting breeding programs.
