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"
Bouncy PORK.
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
