Lowland Anoa (bubalus depressicornis) - one of the smallest of the wild cattle species with only a few thousand left in the wild, cow gave birth to a second calf on Sunday 15th July, she weighs 5lbs. She is brown in colour with a woolly coat which is lost as she matures. The single calf is born after 10 months' gestation.

It has a thick neck, plump body, and short legs, and horns that sweep diagonally backwards - adaptations for pushing through dense, swampy forest. Solitary except when breeding, it feeds mainly in the morning on leaves, fruits, ferns, saplings, and twigs.

The endangered species is found on the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, also known as Celebes. Suffering from loss of their forest and hunting, they are declining numbers. Anoa are hunted for their meat and skulls and horns for trophies and use in tradtional medicine. Therefore, an Internternational Studbook and a regional co-ordinated breeding programme, European Endangered Species Programme (EEP).
