Moo Deng translates into “bouncy pig” or “bouncy pork” and is the name of a special type of meatball native to Thailand. Fans on social media point out that the baby hippo’s name is appropriate, as she is constantly seen slipping, bouncing, prancing, jolting, jiggling and instigating in live feeds and videos shared by the zoo.

GMM Music, one of Thailand's largest music companies has released a song for viral baby Pygmy hippo Moo Deng.

Moo Deng fans have something to sing... er, I mean cheer... about. That's because the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand where she resides has released a little ditty to honor everyone's favorite pygmy hippo.
