	Anoa
		The anoa are two species -- the mountain anoa and the lowland anoa -- of miniature water buffalo similar in appearance to a deer, weighing 150 - 300 kg (330 - 660 lb), living in undisturbed forest.
		Both species of anoa have been classified as endangered since the 1960s and their population continues to decrease.
		Reasons for the decline of both species of anoa include hunting for hide, horns and meat by the natives (though they were rarely hunted by natives before the introduction of modern firearms); shooting by the military; and loss of habitat due to the advancement of settlement.

		Reasons for the decline of the anoa include hunting for hide, horns and meat by the indigenous peoples (though they were rarely hunted by indigenous peoples before the introduction of modern firearms); shooting by the military; and loss of habitat due to the advancement of settlement.
		Lowland Anoa stands but little over a yard at the shoulder, and is the most diminutive of all wild cattle.
		The nearest allies of the anoa appear to be certain extinct buffaloes, of which the remains are found in the Siwalik Hills of northern India.

	Anoa
		Anoas belong to the Bovidae (cattle) family and are divided into two species; The Mountain Anoa (Bubalus quarlesi) and The Lowland Anoa (Bubalus depressicornis).
		Anoa are the smallest wild cattle species in the world; The lowland anoa reaches about 80cm in height and weigh up to 300kg.
		Anoas are threatened with local extinction in small reserves, and populations continue to decline in larger protected areas such as Lore Lindu National Park, primarily due to hunting.

		The taxonomy of the anoa is not well defined; whether or not there is a single species, or the existence of a second species, or perhaps even a single species with several subspecies is unconfirmed.
		Lowland anoas inhabit lowland forests including secondary formations and swampy areas and were once common along the coasts.
		Anoas have a varied diet and are known to eat grasses and other herbs, aquatic plants, leaves of shrubs and young trees, bark, and fruit.

		Several anoa fatalities in zoos have resulted from attempts to keep these solitary animals in pairs or groups, with the larger animals disemboweling their counterparts with their horns.

	Animal Info - Anoa
		The anoa is a miniature water buffalo, a type of wild cattle, similar in appearance to a deer, weighing 150 - 300 kg (330 - 660 lb).
		Anoas live alone or in pairs, rather than herds, except when the cows are about to give birth.
		Reasons for the anoa's decline include hunting for hide, horns and meat (it was rarely hunted by natives before the introduction of modern firearms); killing by the military; and the expansion of settlement, which has caused the anoas to retreat to more remote forest areas due to loss of habitat (e.g.

		Lowland anoas spend most of their time in shady forests and they are most active in the morning and afternoon.

	Lowland anoa - Bubalus depressicornis: More Information - ARKive
		Lowland anoas are usually solitary, though mother and daughter pairs are common and small groups of up to five individuals have been recorded (6).
		The lowland anoa is fully protected under Indonesian law, though there is concern that this is not enforced well enough, as hunting continues even inside protected reserves (1).
		There are a number of lowland anoa held in captivity, though the breeding programme has been greatly hindered by confusion surrounding this species’ classification (1).

	Lowland Anoa
		The current lowland anoa population is estimated to be approximately 5000 animals.
		The number of wild lowland anoas is still decreasing in the wild even right now.
		This is because of illegal hunting, expansion of human settlement, which has resulted in logging activities, as well as clearing of forested areas and draining of marshland for agriculture.

		Lowland anoas belong to the family Bovidae, which includes about 23 species of cattle and spiral-horned antelopes.
		The lowland anoa belongs to the genus Bubalus, which includes four species: lowland anoa (Bubalus depressicornis), mountain anoa (Bubalus quarlesi), wild water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and tamarau (Bubalus mindorensis).
		Because of increasing human population and the spread of cultivation, by the 1890's, the anoa had already begun to abandon the coastal areas of Sulawesi where it was once common.

	Lowland anoa
		The anoa is the smallest of the bovids, a family that includes buffalo, bison and domestic cattle; adult males weigh under 300 kg and stand no higher than 1 m.
		Unlike most buffalo, which tend to gather in large herds, the anoa is a more solitary animal that usually lives in pairs or small family groups.
		The anoa is now in serious danger of extinction, owing to the ongoing destruction of its jungle habitat for the purpose of clearing land for farming on the island of Celebes.

		The anoa population is spread throughout Sulawesi but the increasing encroachment into their habitat has pushed them back into their main sanctuary: the Lore Lindu National Park in Central Sulawesi.
		In the local languages, the anoa is known as the anoeang, sapi oetan, buulu tutu and Bandogo Tutu (Gorontalo); Dangko or Dangkon (Manado); Sako (Bugis); Anoewang Matjetjo (Toraja); and Langkau (Minahasa).
		Mustari wrote that when the anoa's habitat is disturbed, the animal is exposed to extreme climate change, which makes it difficult for the anoa to get in tune with its new environment.

		What is being taken away from the Lowland Anoa has been deprived of all the other living things, as well as the plants and nature growing there.
		Because the animal's habitat is being destroyed, the Lowland Anoa is forced to retreat to remote mountainous areas where it is not native to, far away from it's endemic surroundings.
		The Lowland Anoa is not equipped with the adaptations it needs to successfully live in a new place, so it dies.
