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.
Pygmy hippos are a species that reaches just half the height of a regular hippopotamus and weighs less than a quarter of their weight.
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.
