LOS ANGELES - In an unusual twist to election predictions, Thailand’s viral baby hippo, Moo Deng, has "predicted" a win for Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi province set up a playful scene on Monday, inviting Moo Deng to choose between two watermelons, each carved with the name of a candidate—Trump and his opponent, Kamala Harris.
The baby hippo’s choice to munch on the watermelon marked with Trump’s name quickly went viral after a video of the event was shared on the New York Post’s Twitter account, sparking amusement and surprise online.
Moo Deng: Thailand’s social media sensation
