anoa

anoa (plural anoas)

1. Either of Bubalus quarlesi or Bubalus depressicornis, being a small Indonesian water buffalo similar in appearance to a deer.
   • 1998, Jane Whitten, Tropical Wildlife of Southeast Asia, page 16,

     Anoas need undisturbed forest and cannot adapt to logged areas. The bad-tempered anoa with its sharp short horns is greatly feared, but in spite of this it is periodically suggested as a potential domestic animal. Anyone who has met with an anoa ridicules this idea.

     The Celebes pig and, to a lesser degree, the anoa were the focus of the Wana's large game interests.

   • 2011, Colin Groves, Peter Grubb, Ungulate Taxonomy, unnumbered page,

     They reported seeing mountain anoa trophies for sale, and also a living captive animal, in the Toraja highlands; probable lowland anoas in the Gunung Tangkoko National Park on the N tip of Sulawesi, and evidence of both kinds of anoas in or near the Dumoga-Bone National Park.

The two species may constitute a subgenus of Bubalus. See anoa on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
