"While Thailand's Moo Deng has become a viral global icon, it is important to remember that pygmy hippos are incredibly rare. It is great to have our own little ambassador right here in Edinburgh to connect with our visitors and help raise awareness of the challenges the species face in the wild."
"Moo Deng? Who deng? Introducing... Haggis," the zoo wrote on Instagram alongside b-roll of its newest member. To up the ante of her arrival, the attraction is holding a draw for one zoo-goer to win a unique pygmy hippo experience, a terrific opportunity, given the animals' time in the spotlight.
"The first 30 days are critical for her development, so the pygmy hippo house will be closed for now to allow us to keep a close eye on mum and baby at this sensitive time."
