Pygmy hippo Moo Deng is so adored she may get her own patent
Only a month after the adorable baby hippo Moo Deng was unveiled on Facebook, her fame became unstoppable both domestically and internationally.
With all that fame, zoo director Narongwit Chodchoi said they have begun patenting and trademarking “Moo Deng the hippo” to prevent the animal from being commercialized by anyone else.
Trademark, sure. But what exactly are they trying to patent?

Man: Who's Fiona?
Woman: (Shocked, disgusted face) You don't KNOW Fiona????
I bet she broke up with him on the spot.
