The lowland anoa is a small bovid, only slightly larger than the mountain anoa. It stands barely over 90 cm (35 in) at the shoulder and weighs between 150–300 kg (330–660 lb). It is usually solitary, living in lowland forests, browsing on plants and understory.

Anoa, also known as dwarf buffalo and sapiutan, is a subgenus of Bubalus comprising two species endemic to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia: the mountain anoa (Bubalus quarlesi) and the lowland anoa (Bubalus depressicornis).

The lowland anoa (Bubalus depressicornis) is a small bovid, [8] standing barely over 90 cm (35 in) at the shoulder. It is usually solitary, living in lowland forests, browsing on plants and understory. [9] .

Ju­ve­nile low­land anoas are cov­ered with thick, wooly, yel­low­ish brown hair. Adults are char­ac­ter­ized by thick, black skin, and are only sparsely cov­ered with brown to black­ish hair. They also have white or yel­low­ish-white hair on their forelegs, and some­times on their throat and nape.

2021年8月1日 · To test the hypothesis of two separate species of water buffalo, we sequenced the genome of the lowland anoa, Bubalus depressicornis, which is a dwarf wild buffalo endemic to Sulawesi, and two genomes of swamp buffalo

2022年9月16日 · The lowland anoa, Bubalus depressicornis (Smith 1827), is a wild dwarf buffalo endemic to Sulawesi and Buton Islands, where it can be found in sympatry with the mountain anoa, Bubalus quarlesi (Ouwens 1910). Both anoa species are currently classified as endangered with declining populations due to hunting and habitat loss (Burton et al. 2016).

Lowland anoa are shy creatures only found on the small island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. They eat in the early morning and then take cover in the forest's undergrowth to keep cool during the day. They also help control forest undergrowth by feeding on the grasses and plants.

The lowland anoa (Bubalus depressicornis) is a small Bovid in the Artiodactyla order, also known as anoa de Ilanura or anoa des plaines, in the Anoa subgenus from the genus Bubalus. The taxonomic classification of the anoa is controversial (Groves, 1969), and although debate continues over the...

Bubalus depressicornis (Lowland anoa) Anoa are the smallest wild cattle species and are found only on the Indonesian islands of Sulawesi and Buton. Here, they live in a variety of habitats including primary and secondary moist forest, grassland, and swamp forest.

The Lowland Anoa, also known as the Anoa or Dwarf Buffalo, is a small, sturdy bovine native to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. These herbivorous creatures primarily inhabit the lowland forests and swamps, where they lead a solitary and elusive lifestyle.
