Crowds in Bangladesh are flocking to snap photographs with an unlikely social media star — an albino buffalo with flowing blond hair nicknamed “Donald Trump” that is due to be sacrificed within days.Owner Zia Uddin Mridha, 38, said his brother named the 700kg bull over its flowing helmet of hair resembling the signature look of the US president.“My younger brother picked this name because of the buffalo’s extraordinary hair,” he said at his farm in Narayanganj, just outside the capital, Dhaka.

Mridha said that a constant stream of curious visitors — social media fans, onlookers and children — have come throughout the month, eager to see the Internet sensation.He watched as men poured a cool bucket of water over the bull’s head, running a pink brush through its blond comb-over, neatly tucked between sweeping curved horns.
“The only luxury he enjoys is bathing four times a day,” Mridha said, stressing that the similarities between the bull and the president stopped at the hair.
