STORY: A rare albino buffalo with flowing blond hair has become an unlikely celebrity in Bangladesh ahead of the Eid al-Adha festival, drawing crowds of curious visitors who say the animal bears a striking resemblance to U.S. President Donald Trump.

The nearly 700 kg (1,540 lb) buffalo, raised at a farm in Narayanganj district near the capital Dhaka, has been nicknamed “Donald Trump” because of the tuft of pale hair falling across its forehead — a feature many say mirrors the American leader’s trademark hairstyle.

Farm owner Ziauddin Mridha said the buffalo required special care to keep it in good condition before Eid. "The buffalo has already been delivered to a customer for sacrifice during Eid,” he said.

Albino buffaloes are considered rare in Bangladesh, where most buffaloes are dark-skinned. The animal’s cream-colored body, pinkish nose and long blond hair made it stand out among thousands of cattle prepared for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha, when families traditionally sacrifice livestock.
