Viral pygmy hippo Moo Deng predicts winner of 2024 US election, it’s Donald Trump

Moo Deng picks Donald Trump as winner of 2024 US presidential election

The 2024 US presidential election is happening today, at 5 Nov local time, with many around the world closely following the results.

As people worldwide share their predictions, the superstar hippo Moo Deng in Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi has also embraced her role as a prophet.

Viral pygmy hippo picks Donald Trump as winner

On Monday (4 Oct), Khao Kheow Open Zoo’s Facebook, ขาหมู แอนด์เดอะแก๊ง, made a post about Moo Deng’s prediction for the 2024 US Election.

“In 48 hours, we will know who will become the new president of the United States of America (US),” wrote the zoo.

It jokingly added:

I (Moo Deng) thank everyone for voting me (as president); however, I have been busy with events and over 70 product presentations, so I have to give it a pass.

This was inspired by an unofficial online poll conducted by Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, in which Moo Deng won 93% of the votes, according to Thai local media Thai PBS.

The Facebook post featured a series of photos showing Moo Deng alongside two fruit cakes, each engraved with a candidate’s name. Both cakes were made from sliced pumpkins, decorated with pieces of dragon fruit and flowers.

Netizens joke that Moo Deng is the zoo’s president already

After the post, several netizens flocked to tease the viral baby hippo for her prediction.

One netizen humorously commented that she expected to see Moo Deng as president behind the podium.
