The Houston Zoo, which recently welcomed a four-and-a-half-year-old male pygmy hippopotamus to its exhibits, jokingly threw shade at a certain popular baby pygmy hippo, with a blog post introducing their animal saying, “Moo Deng, who?”
The adorable hippo, named Akobi, weighs 477 pounds and was moved to the Houston Zoo from San Francisco “as part of a breeding recommendation,” the zoo said in a press release on November 1.
The zoo said it has Moo Deng, Thailand’s famous baby pygmy hippo, to thank for visitors’ familiarity with the species.
Akobi was born in a San Diego zoo.
