BANGKOK (AP) — In case you can’t get enough of pygmy hippo Moo Deng, there’s now an official song featuring the internet’s favorite baby animal. The music video for the upbeat 50-second song is available in Thai, English, Chinese and Japanese for her global fans. It features short clips of Moo Deng bouncing, playing with her keeper or hanging out with her mom Jona. Moo Deng’s name literally means “bouncy pork,” a type of meatball, in Thai. She became a global phenomenon just a month after she was unveiled on Facebook by the Khao Kheow Open Zoo. The pygmy hippo, now 4 months old, has drawn a tremendous amount of visitors to the zoo in southern Thailand.
