Summary
A rare albino buffalo, nicknamed “Donald Trump” due to its resemblance to the US president, has become a viral sensation in Bangladesh. The buffalo was originally meant to be slaughtered for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha, but was transferred to a zoo in Dhaka after a video of it went viral on social media. Large crowds are now visiting the zoo to see the buffalo, which has been pampered with special treatment.

The announcement sounds familiar.
The buffalo’s newfound fame has brought both attention and controversy. Some visitors are drawn to its resemblance to Trump, while others find the naming in poor taste. The zoo curator was fired after a sign with the buffalo’s nickname was removed. The buffalo’s fate has been closely followed on social media, with some initially thinking it would be sacrificed for Eid al-Adha.
It seems that a viral sensation can be both a blessing and a curse.
