    The Lowland anoa, found only in Indonesia, is at very high risk of extinction in the wild due to hunting and habitat loss from farming, logging and mining. It is a solitary herbivore that lives in lowland forests and feeds on leaves, grass, twigs and fallen fruits. Both males and females have horns, though males are darker in color, and females typically give birth to one calf after 9-10 months of gestation.
