Furry Catepillar Looks Like Donald Trump's Hair [VIDEO]

Real estate tycoon Donald Trump may have a doppelganger in the Amazon rainforest, or at least a good stand-in on a bad hair day.

A furry Amazonian caterpillar shares a striking resemblance to The Donald's hair. The rare, yellow-colored caterpillar is now nicknamed the "Donald Trump Caterpillar."

The creature, known as a flannel moth, is found in Central and South America and some parts of the southern U.S., but it's been getting some new media highlights thanks to a recent spotting in the Amazon by friends Jeff Cremer, 34 and Phil Torres, 27, who run photography tours from Posada Amazonas, a 30 bed rainforest lodge in Peru, according to the Daily Mail.

'We put the picture of our Twitter and Facebook page and immediately people started comparing it to Donald Trump," said Torres, a field biologist, adding that he has never seen a yellow-colored flannel moth before.

The caterpillar's "hair" is actually a defense mechanism, Discovery News reports. "If an unlucky person tries to grab one, they will get a handful of venom, released when the setae poke into skin. Like a bee sting, the injuries can be painful but, for most, are not life threatening," the site reports.

Torres said that they didn't really think of Trump when they first spotted the caterpillar on a group photography expedition, but the comparisons quickly came in after posting a photo of the critter online.

'When we show people the image some don't even know what it is, some think it's a mammal others a bird or some have said a plant," said Torres. "But to us and most of the people who've seen it, it's Donald Trump's toupee - left on a leaf in the Amazon."
