The star on social networks, the hippopotamus Mu Deng from the zoo in Thailand, predicted today that the Republican Donald Trump (Trump) will win the presidential elections in the USA.
Mu Deng chose “Trump’s meal” from the two dishes offered, in order to judge who will win the uncertain American elections.
The hippopotamus, a four-month-old female, became a star on TikTok and Instagram due to her antics, and in this way she also influenced better ticket sales for the zoo in the small town of Kao Keovu, in the central part of Thailand.
Two meals made of carved fruit and each with a name were offered to the animal. On one was the name of the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris (Harris), and on the other was the name of former President Trump.
The animal chose to try the meal named after the 78-year-old Republican.
Mu Deng, whose species is endangered, has become especially popular in the US, to the extent that comedian Bowen Yang (Bowen Yang) impersonated her in a sketch on the cult American television program “Saturday Night Live”, broadcast by NBC ( NBS).
That American television network transmitted the results of a humorous poll, but also conducted an additional poll on who would win if the candidates in the elections were Mu Deng, Kamala Harris and Trump.
Mu Deng would win with 93 percent of the vote, it was announced.
According to serious public opinion polls, the outcome of the US presidential elections is uncertain.
Exotic animals regularly “predict” the results of some world events, sometimes with success.
During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the famous male octopus Paul (Paul) predicted the winners of the matches by choosing between two boxes containing food.
From his German aquarium, he guessed the results of all matches of the German national team, as well as the victory of Spain in the final.
