lowland anoa
The lowland anoa, also known as the Bubalus depressicornis, is a small, forest-dwelling bovine native to the islands of Indonesia, particularly Sumatra and Borneo. It typically weighs between 150 to 300 pounds and has a stocky build with short legs and curved horns. This herbivorous animal primarily feeds on grasses, leaves, and shrubs found in its tropical habitat.
Lowland anoas are considered endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. They are solitary or found in small groups, making them elusive and difficult to study. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their remaining populations and preserve their natural habitats in the wild.
