Since her debut in late July, weekend visitor numbers at the zoo have doubled—and it’s easy to see why!

Moo Deng’s tiny size and charming antics have made her a star attraction, with zoo visitors flocking to catch a glimpse of her waddling around her enclosure.

As one of the world's most endangered species, pygmy hippos are a rare sight, making Moo Deng's presence even more special.
