	Little Known Asian Animals With a Promising Economic Future: Part II : Wild Bovine Species: 9 Tamaraw
		The tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis) is related to the water buffalo, one of Asia's most important animal resources, but it has never been domesticated or studied and is threatened with extinction.
		The habitat requirements of the tamaraw appear to be fairly flexible, and present habitat use reflects human pressures rather than the animal's preferences.
		At present the tamaraw is found primarily in remote areas that have been partly cleared, largely by fire, so that only small pockets of trees remain among coarse grasses such as Imperata cylindrica (a widespread, unpalatable tropical weed commonly called cogon, kunai, alang alang, lalang, or blady grass), and "tahalib" (Saccharum spontaneum).

		The Tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis) is a mammal that closely resembles the carabao in almost all aspects, except that the Tamaraw is smaller in size and its horns grow straight upward with a “V” form.
		A typical habitat range and grazing ground of the Tamaraw was approximated by Rubio and Castillo (1992) to be from 100 to 600 m elevation.
		After birth, it was reported that a tamaraw cow grazes 50 m away while the calf lies with its neck stretched on the ground, a posture typical of the “hider” species, which hide their youngs rather than accompany them constantly.

		The tamaraw has declined mainly because of hunting, especially after the introduction of modern firearms after WWII and the Vietnam war; and habitat loss due to settlement, logging and ranching.
		Once malaria was brought under control around 1900, loggers moved in and cut the prime trees from lowland rain forest, plantation owners brought in laborers and their families to clear the lowlands for sugar cane and other crops, and subsistence farmers from Luzon and other densely populated places moved to Mindoro in search of farmland.

		As word of the tamaraw and their reported ferocity spread, hunters eager to prove their bravery shot them in increasing numbers (the traditional spears were not favored by those who had guns—the odds shifted too much in favor of the tamaraw).
