Thailand’s oldest hippo celebrates 61st birthday

Yesterday 19:54Key points summarised by AI

Mae Mali, Thailand's oldest hippopotamus, celebrated her 61st birthday at Khao Kheow Open Zoo with a special fruit cake and well-wishes.
Zoo Director Narongwit Chodchoi led festivities as staff and visitors gathered to sing 'Happy Birthday' while Mae Mali enjoyed a giant fruit cake.
Donated from the Netherlands in 1967, Mae Mali has resided in Thailand for over six decades, successfully giving birth to 14 calves.
She remains in good health under close veterinary supervision, with supporters hoping she may eventually set a record as the world's oldest living hippopotamus.

Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-Ok's Uthenthawai campus and Pathumwan Institute of Technology have suspended on-site classes for three months following a violent clash between their students at Siam BTS station, where two were stabbed.
The suspension was agreed upon at a meeting chaired by Higher Education Minister Yodchanan Wongsawat, aiming to prevent further violence between the long-time rival institutions and improve safety in the vital commercial and tourist district.
The decision also addresses a long-standing land dispute, with Chulalongkorn University set to reclaim the Uthenthawai site for an innovation area, not commercial use, following a 2022 Supreme Administrative Court order for Uthenthawai to vacate.
A new committee will oversee the area's development, incorporating all involved institutions, while police will maintain strict security to counter the negative impact of student violence on the area's image and tourism.
