CHONBURI, THAILAND - NOVEMBER 11: Moo Deng attacks a bucket in her enclosure at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo on November 11, 2024 in Pattaya, Thailand. Moo Deng, a pygmy hippo born on July 10, 2024, at Thailand's Khao Kheow Open Zoo, became a global viral sensation, drawing thousands of visitors daily and boosting the local economy. Her popularity led the zoo to sell Moo Deng-themed merchandise, partner with Thai brands, and limit visitor time to just 5 minutes to reduce wait times. "Moo Deng," meaning "bouncy pork" in Thai, reflects the baby hippo's feisty nature. (Photo by Lauren DeCicca/Getty Images)

Moo Deng, the pygmy hippo who rose to fame on social media, is still attracting visitors and licensing deals, but celebrity can be fleeting. How long will it take for another cute baby animal to wear her crown?
