Encyclopedic overview
The mountain anoa (Bubalus quarlesi) also known as Quarle's anoa, is a species of dwarf buffalo endemic to Sulawesi. Its closest relative is the lowland anoa, and it is still a debate as to whether the two are the same species or not. It is also related to the water buffalo, which is also in the genus Bubalus.
