Move over, Moo Deng! A new adorable baby pygmy hippo has been born.

On Monday, Nov. 4, the Edinburgh Zoo, run by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, announced the birth of a "tiny" female pygmy hippo calf named Haggis, born on Wednesday, Oct. 30.

Hoofstock team leader Jonny Appleyard shared in a statement included in the announcement that Haggis "is doing really well so far and it is amazing to see her personality beginning to shine already."

"The first 30 days are critical for her development, so the pygmy hippo house will be closed for now to allow us to keep a close eye on mum and baby at this sensitive time," the statement continued.

The zoo shared a video of the baby calf sniffing for food in a pile of glass across its social media accounts to celebrate her birth.

"Moo Deng? Who deng? Introducing… Haggis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿," the hilarious caption read, which also includes information on a prize draw campaign that the zoo has launched to give "one lucky winner the chance to take part in a unique pygmy hippo experience."

Haggis' arrival comes months after Moo Deng, the viral baby pygmy hippo who resides at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi Province, Thailand, was born in July.

Both animals' births are noteworthy, as the pygmy hippo species remains endangered. According to the Pygmy Hippo Foundation, an estimated 2,000 pygmy hippos remain in the wild.

"While Thailand’s Moo Deng has become a viral global icon, it is important to remember that pygmy hippos are incredibly rare," said Appleyard. "It is great to have our own little ambassador right here in Edinburgh to connect with our visitors and help raise awareness of the challenges the species face in the wild."
