US Election 2024: Move Over, Nostradamus, this adorable viral hippo Moo Deng is predicting the winner

It's November 5th, and the US presidential elections are finally here. While polls are buzzing with predictions and endorsements, Gen Z and millennials seem to be living in a completely different world—one fuelled by viral trends. This time, they're all abuzz about the Moo Deng—a viral hippo who has just chosen his pick for the elections.

Zookeepers at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo presented Moo Deng, the viral hippo, with two fruit cakes for the upcoming November 5 election, as reported by The Independent.?

In a video of the event, Moo Deng was offered two watermelons—one carved with Donald Trump's name and the other with Kamala Harris's.

In the footage, Moo Deng eagerly chose the watermelon labeled with Trump's name, while a larger hippo in the enclosure munched on the one with Harris's name.

So, it is clear that Moo Deng has "predicted" that Republican candidate Donald Trump will win the 2024 U.S. presidential election against his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris.

Meanwhile, national polls indicate that the two candidates are closely competing in this high-stakes election.

Who is Moo Deng?

Moo Deng is a pygmy hippo living at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand, born in July.

Since Moo Deng was born this summer, the Khao Kheow Open Zoo began sharing posts about her on their social media pages.?

It wasn't long before users started resharing her adorable content, dubbing her a lifestyle icon, and she rapidly became an internet sensation due to her petite size and irresistible cuteness.??
