At just four months old, Moo Deng has become a major attraction at the zoo, drawing thousands of visitors daily. The zoo has capitalized on her popularity by selling merchandise such as clothes and bedding featuring the adorable pygmy hippo.
The zoo’s director, Narongwit Chodchoi, has stated that the increased revenue generated by Moo Deng will support the zoo’s breeding programs for endangered species like the pygmy hippopotamus. This species, native to West Africa, is facing threats from poaching and habitat loss, with only 2,000-3,000 individuals remaining in the wild.
Situated on 800 hectares of land and home to over 2,000 animals, the Khao Kheow Open Zoo is committed to conservation efforts and raising awareness about endangered species.
