The origin
Moo Deng was born at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in July 2024. Photographs of her at two months old spread worldwide the following September.
How it spread
The zoo's own footage carried it, and the name — roughly 'bouncy pork' — travelled as far as the pictures did.
What it means
Uncomplicated delight, at a moment when very little else was.
