Baby pygmy hippo in a Thailand zoo. It's not just a lemmy thing (I've seen a few posts about the hippo, but not a flood), but a whole internet thing. All the social media feeds have the hippo as the cute thing of the week because it's a hippo, but tiny.

And the name means "bouncy pig"

Tbh that is what I heard and wikipedia told me otherwise lol

Edit: probably the same word for both in Thai if I'm guessing. Is it wrong if it's cuter to refer to her as food?

Nope, food name is DEFINITELY cuter

Yeah it would mainstream. It actually made at least one of the late night talk shows. That's how you know the meme is dead.
