Celebrating Mooden's 1st birthday grandly at a zoo in Thailand

Khao Kheow Zoo in Thailand has organized a special celebration event to mark the first birthday of Moody, the pygmy hippopotamus. This festival, commemorating the growth of this adorable little hippo, is expected to attract many visitors.

Special Event at Khao Kheow Zoo

Located in Chonburi Province, Khao Kheow Zoo will host the “Moody’s 1st Birthday Festival” from July 10 to 13 over four days. The event will be held mainly at the hippo exhibit hall, providing visitors with a precious opportunity to celebrate Moody’s growth together. Major Thai media outlets have also extensively covered the event, making it a notable regional event.

A Wonderful Gift from the U.S. Embassy

Celebrations for Moody’s birthday are not limited to within the country. The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok presented Moody with a stuffed hippo named Sammy as a birthday gift. Such an international gesture of goodwill symbolizes the friendship between Thailand and the United States and adds new value to the zoo’s activities.

Four Days Celebrating Moody’s 1st Anniversary

During this four-day festival, Moody will spend special moments with many visitors. Pygmy hippopotamuses are rare animals native to Africa, and watching their growth at a Thai zoo is also important for raising awareness about wildlife conservation. Through Moody’s first birthday, visitors will have the opportunity to reflect on the zoo’s mission and the future of these precious creatures.
