When is the best time to see Moo Deng on the livestream?

Khao Kheow Open Zoo's pygmy hippo livestream runs for 24 hours, so you can tune in any time. However, this doesn't mean you'll definitely get to see the famous meatball whenever you pop over to the stream. 

Aside from the fact that Moo Deng and her family are expected to continue their important pygmy hippo business with little concern for camera placement, there's also the time difference to consider. Thailand is 11 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time, meaning that Moo Deng's enclosure will be dark during daylight in the U.S. While pygmy hippos are nocturnal, visibility may not be the best.

Still, if you can't sleep and are looking for something to soothe you, it may be worth checking out Khao Kheow Open Zoo's livestream to see if Moo Deng will bless you with her presence.

You should also keep Moo Deng's schedule in mind if you want the best chance of spotting her. According to a schedule shared on Khao Kheow Open Zoo's official social media accounts (translated by Facebook), Moo Deng starts her day with a shower at around 8 a.m. local time (9 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. PDT). 

Most of Moo Deng's time is spent sleeping in the water, sleeping on the ground, and waiting for her mum to eat. However, you may catch her being a little more active at around 2 p.m. (3 a.m. EDT / 12 a.m. PDT). She also spends some time playing with her mum at around 11 p.m. (12 p.m. EDT / 9 a.m. PDT).

Khao Kheow Open Zoo states that visitors have doubled since Moo Deng's birth in July, with people flocking from all corners to catch a glimpse of her. According to director Narongwit Chodchoi, 10,000 people recently came to visit on a single Saturday. In comparison, the zoo usually receives around 900 visitors on weekdays and 4000 on holidays.

Sadly, not all the crowds have been well-behaved. Some visitors have reportedly thrown objects at Moo Deng, splashed her with water, and shouted at her in attempts to wake her. The zoo has condemned such activity, installing security cameras and threatening legal action against anyone who harasses the hippos.

Fortunately, watching Moo Deng via livestream and squealing about her cuteness from home won't cause her any distress. There isn't a time-limit either, so you can stare at her squishy little face for as long as you like.
