Chonburi-

The Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Si Racha has welcomed a new baby hippopotamus recently. The name of the baby hippo is up for voting with prizes on the line.

Mr. Anuphong Anon, the deputy director of the Khao Kheow Open Zoo, told The Pattaya News, “We are very glad we have welcomed a new baby hippopotamus.”

“The baby is a female hippo which was born on January 14th last month. The hippo is, in my opinion, a present for everyone who visits the zoo and is very healthy.” Anuphong added.

“The baby hippo has not been given a name yet. We now have two names we are considering which are ‘Moo Wan’ and ‘Bacon’.” Anuphong continued.

People can vote for their hippo’s name in the link https://forms.gle/F6dkHzRA5hEsxWoZ7 until April 5th.”

“A winner, which will be randomly chosen from the most votes for the baby hippo’s name, will receive 3,000 baht. Ten others will receive free entry to the zoo. The results will be announced on April 12.” Anuphong concluded.
