Hippo Moo Deng, a baby pygmy hippopotamus from Thailand has picked up the winner for the US Election 2024 presidential race. In the neck-to-neck race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, the baby hippo has chosen Trump as her winner.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, the internet sensation Moo Deng is called out of water, with food as the bait. The baby hippo is given two watermelons with candidates' names written over them.

All About “Moo Deng”

Born in July 2024, Moo Deng is a celebrity hippo and an internet sensation, courtesy of her playful antics. The pint-sized creature went viral after her handlers posted videos of her on TikTok and Instagram from her home.

Recently she caught the attention of the netizens with her “moonwalk”, reminiscent of American singer-dancer Michael Jackson's iconic dance move.
