Moo Deng, a two-month old pygmy hippopotamus, captured hearts online and gained celebrity status, leading to increased zoo visitors and a new safety policy.
The Khao Kheow Open Zoo announced limited viewing time for Moo Deng due to incidents of visitors throwing objects, raising concerns for the baby hippo's safety.
Zoo Director Narongwit Chodchoy emphasized the danger and cruelty of throwing objects at Moo Deng, highlighting a potential legal response to such behavior.
