Moo Deng, the baby hippo taking over the internet, has captured hearts on social media with her attempts to bite keepers at the Thai zoo where she lives.

The tiny creature, whose name means “bouncing pig”, has drawn huge crowds to Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi province - two hours south of the capital Bangkok - after videos of her antics went viral.

Despite not yet having any tusks, the three-month-old is doing her very best to sink her teeth into staff members.

Moo Deng was born to parents Jona and Tony and has two siblings.

Her name was chosen after a vote held by the zoo.
