'Donald Trump' buffalo in Bangladesh draws selfies, crowds and laughs
- A 700-kilogramme albino buffalo in Narayanganj, Bangladesh has become a local celebrity, with visitors comparing its long blond hair to the hairstyle of President Donald Trump.
- Farm owner Zia Uddin Mridha purchased the rare animal about 10 months ago from a cattle market, when officials noted albino buffaloes are extremely uncommon due to low melanin production.
- Caretakers wash the buffalo four times daily and brush its pale hair before visitors arrive, while a second buffalo named Benjamin—after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—also awaits sacrifice.
- The constant crowds have caused the animal to lose weight recently, prompting the farm to restrict public access before Eid al-Adha celebrations begin later this month.
- More than 12 million animals face sacrifice during Eid al-Adha across Bangladesh, where the population exceeds 170 million, making the festival one of the most significant observances in the Islamic calendar.
