Last week, an investigation was launched over the missing deer from Songkhla Zoo, after the zoo director reported the animal was swallowed by a python. 
The deer had been presented to the zoo by her Majesty the Queen Mother. Seven-year-old Moomoo is currently the only albino barking deer living in the zoo.
