Albino buffalo nicknamed ‘Donald Trump’ draws huge crowds at Bangladesh zoo

  • An albino buffalo , nicknamed " Donald Trump " due to its distinctive golden mane and large build, has become a major attraction at Bangladesh 's national zoo since its recent arrival.
  • The rare animal first gained public attention when a farmer observed its blond hair resembled Donald Trump's signature hairstyle, leading to a viral video and large crowds visiting its previous location outside Dhaka.
  • Originally slated for sacrifice during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha, the government intervened, citing security concerns, and ordered its transfer to the capital's zoo, refunding the buyer.
  • Despite sweltering heat, visitors are flocking to the zoo to see the celebrity buffalo, which receives special treatment, including being brushed and hosed down by a zoo worker.
  • The initial sign identifying the exhibit as "Donald Trump" was removed, and the zoo curator was reportedly fired, as some found the naming disrespectful to one of the world's most influential leaders.
