The zoo attracted more than 4,000 visitors every weekday and more than 10,000 visitors on weekends, all of whom gathered around to see Moo Deng. Weekend visitors are limited to just five minutes at her barn due to demand. In fact, Moo Deng has become so famous that she is applying for her own patent. The zoo will purchase the trademark “Moo Deng the hippo”, which may prevent others from profiting from her. Atthapon told the AP that the patent could give the zoo “more income to support activities that make the lives of animals better.”Pygmy hippos are an endangered species, with fewer than 3,000 left in the wild. According to the Pygmy Hippo Foundation, this mammal can live to be 30 to 50 years old.
