This is the amusing moment Moo Deng had grass stuck on her face, resembling eyebrows.

Footage shows the adorable pygmy munching on a tray of assorted vegetables in her enclosure, with two leaves placed on her forehead at Khao Khew Open Zoo.

She can be seen nibbling her snack while entertained visitors watch her in Chonburi, Thailand, on May 31.

The keeper said he put pieces of morning glory on the animal's face as eyebrows for fun and later removed them.

Moo Deng is a pygmy hippopotamus living at Khao Kheow Open Zoo. She was born on July 20, 2024, to her parents Tony and Jonah and was named Moo Deng, which means bouncy pig, through a public poll, with more than 20,000 people voting.

She drew crowds to the zoo after gaining popularity in September 2024 as a popular internet meme, following trending images of her emerging online.

Her fame surged when the zoo posted pictures of her on its Facebook page, showcasing her in funny gestures.

Due to her popularity, the number of daily visitors to the zoo doubled in early September.
The Zoological Park Organization of Thailand reported that the number of tourists visiting reached 159,743, a significant increase from August's total of 98,046.

The pygmy hippopotamus is listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List and is classified under Appendix II of CITES.

Pygmy hippos are small hippopotamids native to the forests and swamps of West Africa, primarily in Liberia, with small populations in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Ivory Coast.
