Moo Deng: The Pygmy Hippopotamus Predicting the 2024 American Presidential Election
Moo Deng, a young pygmy hippopotamus residing in Khao Kheow Zoo in Thailand, has gained immense popularity on social media. This fame has led him to engage in a unique activity: predicting the outcome of the 2024 American presidential election.
This Monday, November 4, Moo Deng was put to the test in front of two fruit sculptures bearing the names of the candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The hippo chose Donald Trump, provoking enthusiasm among his supporters.
Khao Kheow Zoo, where Moo Deng lives, has experienced a significant surge in visits thanks to the little star. Moo Deng’s impact extends to the United States, where he has been featured on popular shows such as “Saturday Night Live” and the “Tonight Show” on NBC.
In a humorous poll presented by the “Tonight Show”, Moo Deng was far ahead of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris with 93% of the votes. However, actual polls continue to show a close contest between the two candidates.
This experience is reminiscent of other animals famous for their predictions, such as Paul the octopus, who predicted the results of the World Cup 2010. We have to wait and see if Moo Deng’s prediction comes true.
