Although the polls predict a close battle in the US presidential election, the winner has already been decided for a baby pygmy hippopotamus from Thailand: ‘Moo Deng’, who has become an internet star, predicted that Republican Donald Trump would return to the White House at the elections on Tuesday.
A video released by the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in eastern Thailand shows the four-month-old animal being presented with two bowls of cut fruit, each with the name of one of the candidates on it. “Moo Deng” chooses the bowl with the name Trump.
Mini hippo inspires on social media
With her adorable behavior, the chubby pygmy hippo girl has taken the internet by storm, especially in the US. “Moo Deng” is now a staple of memes in online media and has inspired a slew of merchandise.
On the television program ‘Saturday Night Live’, comedian Bowen Yang donned a hippopotamus costume and portrayed ‘Moo Deng’ in a skit. In an unofficial poll on the ‘Tonight Show’ about the presidential elections, the baby animal even defeated the two leading candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, receiving 93 percent of the votes.
One of the many posts about the cute baby animal:
Accurate election results expected
Vice President Harris and former President Trump will face off on Tuesday in the presidential election, the outcome of which is considered historic. Democrat Harris and Republican Trump have been neck and neck in the polls for months, so an extremely close election outcome is expected.
Animals around the world repeatedly gain international fame as oracles at important events: for example, the octopus Paul predicted the correct outcome for eight matches at the 2010 Football World Cup from his aquarium in Germany.
