These two are currently spoken about as separate species, but this is not fully ascertained. Either way, unfortunately these are both highly endangered. They are both found in the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia (and the near island of Buton). When skulls of the two species are found, there is no way to tell which species that it comes from.

Both Species are considered to be endangered, with an estimate of 2500 lowland anoa and the same number of mountain anoa.

Reasons for their decline include hunting for hides, horns, and meat by the local peoples and loss of habitat due to the advancement of settlement. Currently, hunting is the more serious factor in most areas. The loss of habitat is also fragmenting the forest that they rely on, which is a further threat.

Below, you will find a list of any mentions that these species have had – it may be none, but any that are written will appear below in the future. As we have places for you to see these animals, they will appear below as well.
