A buffalo from Bangladesh has been viral on social media for many days. This rare species of albino buffalo has been given the nickname Donald Trump because of its distinctive tuft of golden hair. It was to be sacrificed on Eid ul Azha, but after the intervention of Bangladesh’s Tariq Rahman government at the last moment, it was saved from sacrifice. A Home Ministry official gave this information on Wednesday (May 27).

According to the report of news agency Reuters, this buffalo, nicknamed Donald Trump, weighs about 700 kilograms (1,543 pounds). It was already sold for sacrifice on the occasion of Bakrid. After the increasing interest of the public regarding this buffalo, its sacrifice was banned on the instructions of the government citing security concerns.

What did the Bangladesh minister say?
Bangladesh Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has given instructions not to sacrifice the buffalo and to return the money to the buyer. Along with this, he has ordered to send this buffalo to the National Zoo in the capital Dhaka. A Home Ministry official said, “In view of security concerns and unusual interest of the people, the decision to save the buffalo from sacrifice was taken at the last moment.” What started as a normal Bakrid shopping incident immediately became a topic of discussion across the country after the video went viral. People from far and wide flocked to the farm to see the buffalo’s golden hair and calm nature.

Who named the buffalo Donald Trump?
The owner of the farm, Ziauddin Mridha, said that it was named Donald Trump by his younger brother, who gave him this nickname because the buffalo’s appearance resembled that of the American President. Ziauddin Mridha further said that this animal has an unusually calm nature and requires careful care, which includes frequent feeding and regular bathing.

Albino buffalo is rare in Bangladesh, as most buffaloes are dark black in color, but due to its golden color the albino stands out during the buying and selling of animals during Bakrid. In such a situation, because this buffalo got the name Donald Trump, its life was saved.
