An albino buffalo nicknamed “Donald Trump” because it has flowing golden hair is to be sacrificed in Bangladesh within days.
The 1,500lb bull, with a blond comb-over has become a star and receives a constant stream of curious visitors.
Zia Uddin Mridha, 38, the animal’s owner, said his brother named the buffalo after Mr Trump because of its “extraordinary hair”.
He said people had flocked to his farm in Narayanganj, near Dhaka, throughout May to meet the animal.
One fan, arriving with five friends and relatives, said: “Truly, the features are similar between the buffalo and President Donald Trump. My nephew took a one-hour boat journey to see Donald Trump.”
But the buffalo will be slaughtered, alongside about 12 million livestock, as Bangladesh prepares for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha later this month.
“I am going to miss Donald Trump. But that is the core spirit of Eid al-Adha – making a sacrifice,” said Mr Mridha who has cared for the four-year-old animal for the past year.
