A local restaurant owner is bringing the energy of everyone’s favorite pygmy hippo to San Antonio.

Who doesn’t love cute animals? The internet rallied around Moo Deng and Pesto, and in San Antonio, we had our own bunch of animals making some headlines. Here’s a look at this year’s animal stories.

Did you have a “Brat summer” this year.

The Edinburgh Zoo has launched a cuteness contest between Haggis, its newborn pygmy hippo, and Moo Deng, the adorable mini hippopotamus that became a viral sensation at a Thailand zoo this summer.

From love chomps to waddling away the hours, these animals from around the world are capturing our attention and our hearts.

Only a month after the adorable baby hippo Moo Deng was unveiled on Facebook, her fame became unstoppable both domestically and internationally.
