A golden pheasant has become a star in China because people think he has the same hairstyle as Donald Trump, the Daily Mail reports.

Pictures of the animal became widely shared Monday on Chinese media after a journalist from Hangzhou took a picture of the male bird and pointed out the 'striking similarity' between him and the US President-elect.

 

Mr Gao, the keeper of the bird, told MailOnline that he was surprised to hear the news, however he had begun to notice the resemblance between the two.
