A water buffalo that resembles former U.S. President Donald Trump and was saved from slaughter has become a topic of discussion. The water buffalo, which has recently gone viral on social media, is a male with blonde fur and pinkish skin, earning it the nickname "So-nald Trump." 

This buffalo, raised on a farm in the Narayanganj district of Bangladesh, was slated to be sacrificed for the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha as a mature adult weighing over 700kg. However, as its appearance became a sensation and drew crowds of onlookers, the Ministry of Home Affairs in Bangladesh halted the slaughter, citing safety concerns. The buffalo, spared from being killed, has been relocated to the National Zoo in Dhaka for protection.
