A pheasant has become a viral sensation for its resemblance to US President-elect Donald Trump and his famous quiff.
The bird known as the chinese golden pheasant came to fame when a journalist from Hangzhou pointed out the “striking similarity” between the bird and Mr Trump.
And, according to the Hangzhou Safari Park’s head bird feeder, the similarities don’t stop at the feathers.
“After comparing it with the photos … we’ve found that not only are their hairstyles alike, their eyes’ expressions are pretty similar,” Gao Hongqiang told reporters.
Mr Gao said the five-year-old pheasant was called Little Red because of its extremely red feathers.
The bird is more colourful than the other pheasants because it is very healthy, according to Mr Gao, who looks after around 50 pheasants in the park.
The keeper said initially he hadn’t noticed the similarity to the President elect himself.
“I had not noticed the likeness in the past because I had not paid particular attention to the pheasant’s hairstyle,” he told Mail Online.
