The Zoological Park Organization of Thailand is inviting people to help design a new logo featuring its bouncy new star, the young pygmy hippo Moo Deng, for use on official souvenirs.
Director-general Attapon Srihayrun said on Wednesday the organisation will offer a prize for the successful entry. The logo must include the words “Moo Deng”.
Entries would close on Oct 7. The winner would receive a 10,000 baht cash prize, he said. Entries could be emailed to [email protected] or sent to the inbox on the zoo organisation’s Facebook page, facebook.com/ZPOTthailand.
The baby pigmy hippopotamus was born on July 10 at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chon Buri province, the seventh calf of a 25-year-old cow and a 24-year-old bull.
In Thai, “Moo” means pig and “Deng” refers to bouncing. The name was selected by public vote. She quickly became a social media sensation thanks to her keepers’ Kha Moo & the Gang” Facebook page, which regularly posts photos and videos of her activities and “bouncy” nature.
