Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand is patenting the image of its viral baby pygmy hippo, Moo Deng. The zoo made this decision to stop others from making money off the animal’s popularity. The hippo became famous after her videos spread across social media. In August, 20,000 people took part in an online poll to name her. The name Moo Deng means “bouncy pork.” The zoo’s director, Marongwit Chodchoi, said this step ensures only the zoo can use her image for commercial purposes.
