Zoo safety drill sees member of staff dress up as globally famous hippo as real thing recovers from ‘extravagant’ first birthday party
A cute video of the mascot hippo Moo Deng simulating an attack during a zoo training drill has gone viral and amused many people online.
The Khao Kheow Open Zoo, in Chonburi province near Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, published a short film of their emergency response drill on July 21.
According to the zoo, it is a rehearsal for a scenario involving an escaped animal.
A staff member was dressed as the zoo’s superstar, the pygmy hippopotamus Moo Deng, and pretended to have escaped from her enclosure.
