A rare albino buffalo named after U.S. President Donald Trump for his distinctive blond tuft is drawing crowds at a Bangladesh zoo. Previously the animal raised in a farm was saved from being slaughtered in a ritual of sacrifice during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha last week. Authorities ordered that the buffalo be spared over security concerns after a surge of public interest stemmed from social media hype before the festival. The animal had already been sold, but the authorities refunded the buyer and sent the buffalo to the national zoo, where it is now the main attraction.
Hundreds of wild bison would be transferred from federal lands to a South Dakota American Indian Reservation and a North Dakota national park under the latest initiative to restore the burly animals to Western U.S. lands.
