According to Sky News, “Trump” has drawn crowds of visitors and sparking international attention ahead of the Eid al-Adha festival.
How old is “Donald Trump” buffalo?
The four-year-old animal, weighing approximately 700 kilograms, lives on a farm in Narayanganj district near the capital Dhaka.
Its unusual cream-coloured coat, pinkish nose and a distinctive tuft of pale blond hair falling across its forehead have made it stand out among thousands of livestock being prepared for the Muslim festival.

It is that blond forelock, in particular, that has led to comparisons with the hairstyle of Donald Trump, after whom the buffalo was affectionately named by its owner’s family.
The resemblance quickly caught public imagination, turning the animal into a viral attraction across social media platforms.
“My younger brother named the buffalo Donald Trump because the hair on the front of its head resembles Donald Trump,” said farm owner Ziauddin Mridha.
How is Donald Trump’s temperament?
The farmer added that despite its striking appearance, it is very calm by nature, and animals of his type are generally gentle and do not become aggressive unless provoked.
What began as a local curiosity has now escalated into a full-blown spectacle with dozens of visitors arriving at the farm daily, some from distant districts just to see the animal in person.
Many queue for photographs and videos, treating the buffalo almost like a celebrity in its own right. The attention has been so intense that it has occasionally disrupted the animal’s routine.
According to the farm, the steady flow of visitors has at times interfered with feeding schedules, requiring handlers to carefully manage access to ensure the buffalo remains calm and well cared for.

Mridha said the animal requires special maintenance due to its rare condition and popularity.
It is bathed up to four times a day and fed multiple times daily to keep it healthy and in good condition ahead of Eid al-Adha.
Albino buffaloes are uncommon in Bangladesh, where most cattle are dark-skinned, making this particular animal even more unusual.
The buffalo’s calm temperament, combined with its striking appearance and widely shared images online, has turned it into one of this year’s most talked-about festival animals.
As Eid al-Adha approaches, the buffalo continues to draw steady crowds, with visitors describing it as both unusual and strangely charming.
For its caretakers, it is a reminder of how quickly a simple farm animal can become a global talking point in the age of social media.
