This is the amusing moment Moo Deng was spotted enjoying a bath while a monkey rummaged for snacks.

Footage shows the adorable pygmy hippo lounging in a water-filled basin as a curious macaque leans on the tub before exploring the enclosure at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi, Thailand.

The monkey can be seen approaching a toppled black container and lifting it up to search for food on July 17.

It soon found scraps of leftover vegetables on the ground, while Moo Deng remained still in her tub, with her head resting on the edge of the container, seemingly unbothered by the hungry monkey.

Moo Deng is a one-year-old 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 Organisation 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.
