ANOA

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 79 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANOA , the native name of the small wild
buffalo
  of Celebes, Bos (Bubalus) depressicornis, which stands but little over a yard at the
shoulder
 , and is the most diminutive of all wild cattle. It is nearly allied to the larger Asiatic buffaloes, showing the same reversal of the direction of the
hair
  on the back. The horns are
peculiar
  for their upright direction and
comparative
  straightness, although they have the same triangular
section
  as in other buffaloes.
White
  spots are sometimes present below the eyes, and there may be
white
  markings on the legs and back; and the
absence
  or presence of these white markings may be indicative of distinct races. The horns of the cows are very small. 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. In habits the animal appears to resemble the Indian
buffalo
 .
