ANOA 431 
Head of Anoa, from life. 
The ANOA (Bos [Bubalus] depressicornis). 
The smallest wild member of the ox tribe, characterised by its 
straight, upright horns, and the frequent presence of white spots on the 
sides of the head or elsewhere. Although so different in the form 
of the head and horns from the adult Indian buffalo, the anoa is in 
these respects much more like the young of the latter; and the two 
are connected to a considerable extent by the tamarau, or Philippine 
buffalo (Bos mindorensis) of the island of Mindoro. As in all the 
Oriental buffaloes, the hair of the fore-part of the back is directed 
forwards in the anoa. Height at shoulder about 3 feet 3 inches. 
There may be two races.
