Moo Deng, the most perfect pygmy hippopotamus, has taken the internet by storm with her slippery belly and award-winning, seemingly toothless (but very bitey) smile. If you haven't heard of Moo Deng yet, you must be living under a rock! The happy hippo just got her own Wikipedia page, which means she's legit. All she does is snap at people, slide around in the water, and be awwdorable while large crowds watch her do her thing. Sounds like the life.

What about all hippos? The furless and fabulous creatures have gotten a lot more press since Moo Deng became an overnight sensation, but I think we need to keep that idea going. Hippos are known for their aggressive tendencies, but when you're dealing with a tiny gal like Moo Deng, their greatest strength might as well be a kiss to us hoomans. If you're still not convinced that hippos are one of the cutest animal species in the world, I'll let these hearty hippo memes speak for themselves. And of course, some will feature the woman of the hour, Miss Moo Deng.
