An albino buffalo who has a remarkable resemblance to US president Donald Trump has been given an 11th hour reprieve from a sacrifice after the government of Bangladesh intervened, the Daily Mail<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

The 750-kilogram beast has a distinctive quiff of blonde hair, bemusing locals who decided to nickname the cow Donald Trump after his likeness to the American leader.<\/p>\n

The buffalo’s pinkish skin-like texture also distinguishes him from the herd and gives him the ‘uncanny resemblance’ to the Republican.<\/p>\n

After the animal went viral, he drew huge crowds to the farm in Narayanganj near the capital Dhaka.<\/p>\n

But having been sold to be slaughtered for an Eid al-Adha festival, he was set to be sacrificed.<\/p>\n

However, Bangladesh’s home ministry stepped in at the last minute, citing security concerns.<\/p>\n

Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed ordered the buffalo be spared, the buyer refunded and the animal to be moved to a national zoo in Dhaka.<\/p>\n

A ministry official said: “At the last moment, the decision was taken to spare the buffalo from sacrifice due to security concerns and the unusual level of public interest.”<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
