The mountain anoa is a small wild buffalo that lives only in the mountain forests of Sulawesi Island in Indonesia. It is one of the smallest species in the Bovidae family.
The mountain anoa differs from the lowland anoa by its thicker fur and life at high altitudes in the mountains. It helps preserve the forests of Sulawesi by eating plants and is a rare species in need of protection.
