Thailand's internet-famous pygmy hippo Moo Deng celebrated her first birthday at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo with a four-day festival. The event included a lecture on "Moo Deng's cheekiness" and a sponsored fruit-festooned cake. Moo Deng's popularity peaked last year, leading to merchandise and trademarking of her likeness, but her fame has since declined. Despite this, the pygmy hippo has raised awareness about the endangered species and may continue to be adored for her cuteness as she grows older.
