COMMANDER IN BEEF

A BUFFALO with a blond tuft of hair has become an unlikely internet star after being compared to Donald Trump.
Videos of the rare animal have gone viral, with stunned visitors flocking to see the creature for themselves.
The albino buffalo is being kept in Paikpara, in Narayanganj, Bangladesh, ahead of Eid al-Adha.
It has been nicknamed Donald Trump because of the golden hair on its head.
Social media users have joked that the nearly 700-kilogram animal bears an uncanny resemblance to the US president.
The unusual look has turned the buffalo into a local celebrity.

Its owner, Ziauddin Mridha, said the animal was bought from a cattle market in Rajshahi around 10 months ago, NDTV reported.
“My younger brother jokingly named it Donald Trump after seeing the hair on its head,” he said.
“It is very calm in nature. Albino buffaloes are generally peaceful and do not become aggressive unless provoked.”
Mridha said the buffalo has already been sold.
Visitors said they first heard about the animal after clips spread across Facebook.
One woman told Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo that the resemblance was hard to miss.
“When I saw his pictures on Facebook, he looked exactly like Donald Trump,” she said.
“His facial structure and even hairstyle match that of Trump.”
The animal has become a surprise attraction as families prepare for Eid al-Adha.
The Bangladesh buffalo is only the latest animal to draw Trump comparisons online.
A tiny moth was officially named Neopalpa donaldtrumpi in 2017 after scientist Vazrick Nazari noticed its yellowish-white head scales resembled Trump’s hair.
The species is found in Southern California and Baja California, Mexico, and Nazari said the name was meant to draw attention to fragile habitats with undescribed species.
Trump’s name had already entered the scientific record a year earlier with Tetragramma donaldtrumpi, a fossil sea urchin discovered by fossil hunter William R. Thompson Jr. in Texas.
Thompson said he found five fossils in the 110-million-year-old Glen Rose Formation and named the species to honor Trump.
Another creature, a worm-like amphibian from Panama, was proposed to be named Dermophis donaldtrumpi after a UK company bought naming rights through a Rainforest Trust auction.
EnviroBuild said it chose the name to mock Trump’s views on climate change, pointing to the caecilian’s poor eyesight and habit of burrowing underground.
The so-called Trumpapillar became a viral hit in Peru because its orange-yellow fuzz looked like Trump’s hair.
The creature was a flannel moth caterpillar spotted in the Peruvian Amazon, though experts warned similar hairy caterpillars can sting and should not be touched.
A golden pheasant named Little Red also went viral in China after people noticed its sweeping yellow crest looked like Trump’s hair.
The five-year-old bird drew extra attention after the US election,
with its caretaker saying he expected more tourists to visit the zoo and
stop by to see the pheasant.
