[A Man Arrested in Thailand for Trespassing into Viral Hippo Moo Deng's Enclosure] Odaily Planet Daily News – A man was arrested for trespassing into the enclosure of the viral pygmy hippo Moo Deng at Thailand's Khao Kheow Open Zoo. On March 17, the zoo posted on Facebook that images on social media showed an intruder entering Moo Deng's enclosure at around 5 PM that day. The man was subsequently subdued by security personnel and handed over to the police. The zoo assured the public that Moo Deng and the other hippos were unharmed but might have been slightly startled due to the close contact with the intruder. The veterinary team will closely monitor the animals' behavior. Footage from the live-streamed enclosure on YouTube showed the man jumping into the enclosure at 5:17 PM, approaching the hippo group while holding a tablet to film. At one point, he extended his hand to try to touch a hippo but quickly withdrew. A little over a minute later, he climbed out of the enclosure with the help of another person. Moo Deng, born on July 10, 2024, quickly became an internet sensation. Its name means 'Bouncy Pig' in Thai. The zoo is located in Chonburi Province, Thailand, approximately a two-hour drive from Bangkok.
