Candice Lim is joined by WUNC’s Anisa Khalifa (The
Broadside) and Dr. Jess Maddox (The Internet Is for Cats) to
discuss the biggest animal phenomenon of the year: Moo Deng. For
the past few months, our timelines have been flooded
with memes of a pygmy hippo in Thailand whose TikTok fame
has created international fame, a 24/7 livestream, and increased
visitor numbers for her zoo. But what does the internet’s
fascination with Moo Deng say about the fate of viral animal
celebrities and the sociological consequences of animal fame? This
podcast is produced by Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario and
Candice Lim. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
