Head of Bull Anoa, from life. 



ANOA (Bos 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 con- 

 nected 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. 

 Distribution. The island of Celebes.
