A man has been arrested after he was caught climbing into an enclosure of Moo Deng, the adorable pygmy hippo who became a social media sensation, zoo officials said.

The Thai man allegedly entered the enclosure on Tuesday while a keeper was away and no other visitors were around, the Khao Kheow Open Zoo’s director Narongwit Chodchoy told The Associated Press.
