Moo Deng turns one with a ‘hippo’ birthday bash and 100 devoted fans at Thailand zoo
Nevertheless, love did not disappear completely. On Thursday, he gathered to watch the Plod about about 100 fans pencils, much less than the crowd at the summit, but still with devotion.
On his birthday, he made a generous fruit cake supported by a skin care beautyist who paid $ 3,000 for honor. Later, the zoo officials plan to open some of their belongings, but what they have accumulated exactly in their short life continues to be a mystery.
Jennifer Tang, who traveled from Malaysia and left a week later to see Moo Deng, described him as “chaos anger potato .. “He’s still really arrogant and funny, Tang Tang said to AFP. Makes me happy.
Moo Deng, called “bouncy pork yakın in Thailand, appeared on the global stage as a small, pink -faced calf, which were millions of satisfaction last year. He gathered more than five million social media followers and inspired the breasts, goods and live streams.
A year later, the cute rolling that made him famous for the first time exceeded those who made him famous. He weighs a solid 93 kilogram – only 5 at birth – now he is slowly spent his days in the humble stone storage slowly munching and scammer. “It used to be very naughty and always jumped,” he said to his workman Attaphol Nundee news agency. “Now he’s mostly eating and sleeping.”
Temporary power of intelligence
Moo Deng’s story is about protection as well as about internet culture.
When he first arrived, the ticket sales of the zoo went up to four times, and the baby’s face inspired everything from Piguk Banks to Popsicles – he always pushed his caregivers to put their similarity into the brand.

A legacy beyond their loved ones
Although Viral Moment is breathing, Moo Deng helped to shine a light on the dwarf water stallion, which was extinct to West Africa, where he survived less than 2,500 in wild nature.
The operators say that Moo Deng did not lose their spark while the public’s attention may change. “When people take pictures, their eyes are on, Att Attaphol said to AFP.
And even if the internet continues, the caregivers are realistic about the fame cycle.
“Moo Deng will not be the most popular forever, At Attaphol confessed. “One day the new generation will be MOO Deng.”
