The 2024 U.S. presidential elections have dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, inviting reactions from a plethora of celebrities. A huge chunk of Hollywood artists, including Taylor Swift, openly endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris for the position, resulting in an uproar of divisive reactions on the internet. However, in a surprising turn of events, Harris’ opponent, Donald Trump, has emerged as the victorious candidate and will assume his duties as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025. While this revelation came as a surprise for many, it seems that a particular zoo animal was one step ahead of the humans. As disclosed in a recent viral video, Thailand’s baby hippo Moo Deng had already predicted Donald Trump’s win in the recently concluded voting.
Here’s everything you need to know regarding the viral animal’s bizarre prediction regarding the results of the 2024 U.S. presidential elections.
Moo Deng predicts Donald Trump to win US Presidential election
In a recent video posted by Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo, internet sensation Moo Deng was seen accurately predicting Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential elections. The snippet sees the zoo officials placing two watermelon cakes in front of the fan-favorite hippopotamus, with each delicacy showcasing the names of the two presidential candidates.
As the video proceeds, Moo Deng opts to eat the cake with Donald Trump’s name, successfully predicting his victory in the elections. Following the Republican’s historical 295-226 win over Vice President Kamala Harris, the video has gone on to attract massive numbers online.
Born on July 10, 2024, Moo Deng has found internet fame at a relatively young age. The hippopotamus rose to prominence after images of her responding adorably to a bath received global attention online. Due to her growing popularity, the Khao Kheow Open Zoo has reported a significant surge in incoming tourists who solely visit the institution to feast their eyes on Moo Deng.
Deng categorizes as a pygmy hippopotamus, which is presently an endangered species. Originating in West Africa, the pygmy hippopotamus population currently amounts to somewhere around 2,000.
