A man has been arrested after trespassing into an enclosure in a Thailand zoo which houses viral pygmy hippo Moo Deng.
In a Facebook post on March 17, the Khao Kheow Open Zoo said images on social media showed an intruder had entered Moo Deng’s enclosure that day at around 5pm.
The man was apprehended by security personnel and handed over to the police, it added.
The zoo assured the public that Moo Deng and other hippos were unharmed, though they may have experienced “slight shock” from the close encounter with an outsider.
The zoo’s veterinary team will closely monitor the animals’ behaviour.
A live stream of the enclosure on YouTube shows a man jumping into the enclosure at 5.17pm and approaching the hippos. He appears to be filming them with a tablet in his hand.
