In 2024 the whole internet fell for a baby pygmy hippo from Thailand — round, glossy, pink-cheeked and full of attitude. The Thailand Moodeng set captures that energy in four little poses, from a peaceful nap to an outraged, hose-sprayed protest.
Four Moods
The box art names three of the poses — ‘Dragged to work,’ ‘Having a rest’ and ‘Stay away’ (the one getting sprayed by a garden hose). The fourth hippo flops on its belly with its mouth wide open; the box doesn’t give it a name.
The Hippo Who Inspired It
The series is named after Moo Deng, the viral pygmy hippo born at Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo in July 2024. It’s a fan tribute from Animal Heavenly Body — not affiliated with or endorsed by the zoo.
‘Bouncy Pork’
Moo deng is Thai for ‘bouncy pork,’ a kind of meatball — the zoo names its hippos after pork dishes. The set’s Chinese name, 泰国弹跳猪, means ‘Thai bouncy pig.’
Real Pygmy Hippos
Pygmy hippos live in the forests and swamps of West Africa and are far smaller and shyer than common hippos. Zoos around the world breed them to help protect this endangered species.
