Meme-worthy animals at the Greenville Zoo

Although we don’t have a pygmy hippo, we do have plenty of animals at the Greenville Zoo who are ready to break into the spotlight.

Little miss Moo Deng, the viral pygmy hippo, has taken over our hearts and memes. We get it, how can you not love her? Although the Greenville Zoo isn’t home to any hippos, we still have some cute critters that are worth a visit. Here are our top, meme-worthy animals at the zoo.

Lana

Are you kidding? Lana has a face for every mood, and is perfect meme-material.

These fox kits were born in April, and give us a major case of cute aggression.

The scaliest friend on the list, our very own rhinoceros iguana always looks like he’s silently judging you.

Some of the newest editions to the Zoo, these red pandas are perfectly content to eat snacks and be adorable. What a life.
