A golden pheasant has become a star in China because people think he has the same hairstyle as Donald Trump.
Pictures of the animal became widely shared today 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.
Mr Gao works for Hangzhou Safari Park in eastern China, where the five-year-old bird lives.
According to Mr Gao, pheasants have thicker and brighter feathers in winter because they bring insulation, and that is why 'Little Red' has such golden feathers on his head at this time of the year.
Chinese web users have been amused by a collage of the 'Little Red' and Donald Trump, with many expressing their thoughts on the resemblance.
One user wrote on Chinese news site Sina: "A new trendy hairstyle was born at the end of 2016."
Another Sina user joked: "As a matter of fact, the pheasant is better looking than Trump."
One person said on another Chinese news site QQ.com: "Not only does the pheasant's appearance looks like Trump, its facial expression looks like Trump's too.
"Look at its eyes, they are very similar [to Trump's]. The only difference is the man doesn't have a beak."
A spokesman from Hangzhou Safari Park told MailOnline: "A local journalist came to our zoo yesterday and took some pictures of the bird, then wrote about him.
"We see the pheasant every day. We don't think he is special in anyway, so we are very surprised to see he has become a star."
Although golden pheasants can be found in many parts of the world today, the birds are native to China and are a protected animal species in the country.
Mr Gao said he was very proud that a precious Chinese bird could gain such media attention.
