World's smallest buffalo born at Chester Zoo
[]
Blooloop
A rare anoa - the world’s smallest species of buffalo - has been born at Chester Zoo.
The tiny calf arrived to mum Darcy after a 10-month-long pregnancy, weighing just 7kg and standing at around 50cm tall.
Anoa stand at barely a metre tall when fully grown.
Lowland anoa are found in the forests and swamps of a single Indonesian island, Sulawesi.
As forests are cleared for agriculture and mining, populations become fragmented, making it easier for hunters to find and kill anoa.
