– An albino buffalo that went viral for its striking resemblance to President Donald Trump was spared from slaughter at the annual Islamic feast of sacrifice on Wednesday — and rehomed in a zoo. The buffalo, which jokingly earned the name “Donald Trump” after its fetching coiffed blonde combover went viral, was slated to be killed during Eid al-Adha this week.

The animal’s owner, 38-year-old Zia Uddin Mridha, sold it before it became a certified tourist attraction weeks before Eid.Federal authorities in Bangladesh intervened at the eleventh hour, saving the buffalo from certain death. They cited security concerns “and the unusual level of ​public interest” ahead of Thursday’s festival, according to a ministry official.Now, the 4-year-old bovine is off to greener pastures in the country’s national zoo.While albino buffaloes are remarkably rare in Bangladesh, the livestock’s internet stardom was ultimately what saved its life.Mridha’s younger brother was the first to spot the resemblance between their cattle and the commander-in-chief.Mridha insisted that the buffalo’s temperament is a steep departure from Trump’s.

“It is very calm in nature. Albino buffaloes are generally peaceful and do not become aggressive unless provoked,” he explained to NDTV.An albino buffalo can live for up to 20 years in captivity, but requires extra care due to its sensitivity to sunlight.
