Summary
Dhaka’s national zoo has turned a rare albino buffalo into a viral attraction after visitors fixated on its blond tuft and resemblance to Donald Trump.
Social media attention first swelled at a farm outside Dhaka, where the animal had been kept before officials intervened and moved it to the zoo.
The buffalo had been sold for slaughter during Eid al-Adha, but the transfer preserved it and quickly made it a photo magnet for zoo visitors.
A sign reportedly identifying the animal as "Donald Trump" was later removed, and the zoo’s curator was fired without a public explanation.
The nickname has split opinion in Bangladesh, with some visitors embracing the comparison and others calling it disrespectful to a world leader.
