Rare Albino Buffalo Resembling Donald Trump Becomes Major Attraction at National Zoo

Dhaka. The rare albino buffalo named 'Donald Trump' kept at the National Zoo of Bangladesh, for resembling US President Donald Trump, has now become a major attraction across the country. This buffalo, with golden hair, yellow horns, and weighing approximately 700 kilograms (1,500 pounds), has drawn crowds from Dhaka as well as various parts of the country since being moved to the zoo last week. After its pictures and videos went viral on social media, people are being attracted to the zoo to see it in person.

This buffalo was initially intended for sacrifice during the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha. However, citing security reasons, the government ordered its transfer to the National Zoo in the capital, Dhaka. Even amidst extreme heat, large crowds are observing it there.

On Tuesday, a large crowd of visitors was seen at the zoo. People were crowding around the buffalo's enclosure, taking pictures and videos with their mobile phones. Some parents were seen lifting their children on their shoulders for a better view.

Zoo staff are caring for the animal, grooming its hair, keeping it cool with water, and trying to protect it from the heat. According to visitors, this has given the buffalo a feeling of receiving special treatment.

Dhaka student Mohammad Nasim commented that the buffalo's appearance and behavior resemble US President Donald Trump. He said that it has received special attention and treatment after going viral on social media.

However, not everyone has the same reaction to this naming. Some visitors have commented that naming an animal after a world leader is inappropriate. Dhaka resident Mohammad Joynal Adedin stated that such a decision seemed disrespectful and that the farmer had made a wrong decision.

According to local media, a signboard with 'Donald Trump' written on it was initially placed at the zoo, but it was later removed. In connection with this incident, the zoo's curator was dismissed on Saturday, although the official reason has not been disclosed.

The buffalo's future also seems to have changed in the context of Eid al-Adha. Initially sold for sacrifice, the buffalo was later returned after government intervention. It is reported that the police intervened under the direction of Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed.

This issue has garnered widespread discussion from social media to the streets. Mohammad Habibur Rahman, a visitor from the southwestern city of Jessore, said that he initially heard about the 'Donald Trump' named buffalo being sacrificed and later heard it was kept at the zoo, so he came to see it.

Currently, this buffalo has become a major attraction across Bangladesh as a rare animal, becoming the center of social media and public discussion at the zoo.
