Internet sensation Moo Deng, the baby pygmy hippopotamus from Thailand, now has an official song called “Moodeng Moodeng” available in four languages. The catchy 50-second tune features simple lyrics like “Please Mommy, come play with me / Bounce with me, Mom” and has gained more than 100,000 views on YouTube. Moo Deng rose to fame on TikTok in September, showcasing her daily activities of napping, showering, and playfully chewing on her caretakers’ knees. The song was released by GMM Music and produced by Thai songwriter Mueanphet Ammara.
Named after a Thai meatball meaning “bouncy pork,” Moo Deng has become a popular attraction at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo, appearing in merchandise and advertisements. She even correctly predicted Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election by choosing a fruit platter marked with the candidates’ names. Despite her newfound fame and busy schedule, Moo Deng continues to charm visitors and fans with her adorable and playful nature.
