In a Bangladeshi village, a pale buffalo with a swoop of blondish hair has unexpectedly been saddled with a famous name: Donald Trump. Owner Zia Uddin Mridha says his younger brother dubbed the 4-year-old albino animal "Donald" after deciding its "extraordinary hair" resembled the US president's trademark hairstyle, reports USA Today. The buffalo has since turned into a local attraction, drawing streams of visitors eager to inspect the look-alike hair and snap photos.

Beyond that distinctive feature, Mridha insists the likeness ends there, noting that "the only luxury he enjoys is bathing four times a day." But "Donald" won't be around much longer: Mridha tells AFP that the buffalo is slated to be sacrificed for Eid al-Adha in the coming days, as part of a religious observance in which more than 12 million animals are expected to be slaughtered across Bangladesh. "I am going to miss Donald Trump," he says, "but that is the core spirit of Eid al-Adha—making a sacrifice."
