# anoa
## English
### Etymology

From Indonesian anoa.

### Pronunciation

* (General American) IPA: /əˈnoʊə/
* Audio (Southern England):(file)

### Noun

anoa (plural anoas)
* Either of two related species of small Indonesian water buffalo similar in appearance to deer; Bubalus quarlesi or Bubalus depressicornis.
** 1998, Jane Whitten, Tropical Wildlife of Southeast Asia‎, page 16:Anoas need undisturbed forest and cannot adapt to logged areas. The bad-tempered anoa with its sharp short horns is greatly feared, but in spite of this it is periodically suggested as a potential domestic animal. Anyone who has met with an anoa ridicules this idea.
** 2000, Michael Alvard, “The Impact of Traditional Subsistence Hunting and Trapping on Prey Populations: Data from Wana Horticuluralists of Upland Central Sulwesi, Indonesia”, in John G. Robinson, Elizabeth L. Bennett, editors, Hunting for Sustainability in Tropical Forests, page 223:The Celebes pig and, to a lesser degree, the anoa were the focus of the Wana's large game interests.
** 2011, Colin Groves, Peter Grubb, Ungulate Taxonomy, unnumbered page:They reported seeing mountain anoa trophies for sale, and also a living captive animal, in the Toraja highlands; probable lowland anoas in the Gunung Tangkoko National Park on the N tip of Sulawesi, and evidence of both kinds of anoas in or near the Dumoga-Bone National Park.

#### Usage notes
