Viral baby hippo Moo Deng made a shocking prediction in the 2024 US presidential election.
Keepers at Khao Kheow Open Zoo tested the four-month-old hippo by giving him a choice of two fruit-stuffed watermelons, emblazoned with the name of Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
They then let Moo Deng choose which melon he wanted to feast on, which would in turn reveal his presidential choice.
The young mammal ended up chewing on former Apprentice star Trump.
However, one of the zookeepers later revealed on social media that Trump’s melon contained some larger pieces of fruit, which may have influenced Moo Deng’s decision.

Viral baby hippo Moo Deng made a shocking prediction in the 2024 US presidential election by eating melons marked with the candidates’ names.
Ann Selzer, a well-respected political pollster, released a poll Saturday that found Vice President Kamala Harris had suddenly surged to a three-percentage-point lead in Iowa.
The surprising outlier poll made headlines across the country, as the vice president was expected to lose the Hawkeye State, by a landslide.
Since Moo Deng was born in July, she has gone viral online with her miniature figure and plump proportions, inspiring a fervent audience.
Even the Royal Thai Embassy featured the baby hippo on its social media channels.
Her fans have made artwork and cakes in her image and a cosmetics chain also tells its customers to “wear your blush like a baby hippo.”
Moo Deng’s fame began when keepers at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo began posting videos of her on her TikTok account, which now has 2.5 million followers.
He now has dozens of Instagram and Facebook pages documenting his daily life on social media.

Atthapon Nundee, 31, a keeper at Khao Kheow Open Zoo, said according to The Guardian: ‘The moment I saw Moo-Deng born, I set myself the goal of making her famous, but I never expected it to spread abroad.
“I thought I might be famous in Thailand but not internationally.”
“They call it ‘inflatable’ and it’s also quite ‘inflatable,'” he added.
Nundee explained that Moo Deng spends most of his time sleeping and only drinks his mother’s milk.
Pygmy hippos, also known as dwarf hippos, are native to West Africa.
