The lowland anoa is the world's smallest wild buffalo. This mammal lives in the tropical forests of Sulawesi island in Indonesia.
The lowland anoa differs from other buffaloes by its very small size and life only in forests. It is important for nature because it eats plants and helps preserve the forest ecosystem of Sulawesi.
