The nearly 700kg (1,540lbs) 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.
Dozens of people flocked to the farm daily, with many travelling from distant districts to pose for selfies and videos with the unusually coloured animal, which quickly went viral on social media.

“My younger brother named the buffalo Donald Trump because the hair on the front of its head resembles Donald Trump,” farm owner Ziauddin Mridha said.
“Despite its striking appearance, it is very calm by nature. It is an albino buffalo, and animals of this type are generally gentle and do not become aggressive unless provoked,” he added.

Mridha said the buffalo required special care, including being bathed four times a day and fed four meals daily to keep it healthy and in good condition before Eid.
