A Chinese golden pheasant that apparently resembles U.S. president-elect Donald Trump attracted visitors in a Chinese safari park on Thursday.

A picture of a five-year-old golden pheasant named Little Red went viral after a photo of it was posted online by a journalist from eastern Hangzhou city, who pointed out the "striking similarity" between the male bird and Trump, China's ruling Communist Party's official People's Daily reported on its website.

The head of the bird feeders in the park, Gao Hongqiang, told Reuters that it had about 50 such species, adding that the male pheasants with a golden-yellow crest are much showier than the female, which has mottled brown plumage.

Gao claimed both the hairstyle and eye expressions of male golden pheasants are Trump-like.

"Golden pheasant's golden crest on its head is pretty similar to Trump's hairstyle, and after comparing with the photos from netizens these days, we found that not only their hairstyles are alike, their eye expressions are pretty similar. Golden pheasant's eye expression is quite vigilant if you are approaching it, which is similar to Trump's," Gao said.

Visitors said the species reminded them of Trump's flamboyant hairstyle.

"I think this pheasant is very beautiful and Trump's hairstyle in the U.S. presidential election sprang to my mind when I got the first glimpse of the bird.… 'Golden pheasant' name should be changed into 'Trump pheasant' to make it more famous," said Jin Huofeng, a 34-year-old visitor.

The bird is native to China and among national protected animal species in the country, even though it can be found in many other countries, People's Daily said.
