Moo Deng, a baby pygmy hippo born at Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo, has become a viral sensation, inspiring local businesses like Vetmon Cafe, which saw a massive surge in orders for its hippo-shaped cakes. The cafe’s owner, Chalit Kulsaree, turned a customer request into a viral hit, earning thousands in days. Artist Worachai Mattakij also capitalized on the trend, creating hippo-themed mystery boxes that sold out quickly. Moo Deng’s popularity has extended beyond cakes and toys, influencing fashion, cosmetics, and attracting international interest.
