Thousands flock to Thailand zoo to celebrate Moo Deng’s 1st birthday

From NPR.

Thousands of people from around the world are flocking to Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo today to celebrate Moo Deng’s first birthday.

The baby pigmy hippo has been a social media sensation for most of her life. To celebrate her day, she took a few naps and ate watermelon and vegetables before being hosed down for a shower. She also got a 44-pound hippo-sized birthday cake.

Baby pygmies are native to West Africa and are endangered: There are only a couple thousand left in the world.
