The mountain anoa (Bubalus quarlesi) also known as Quarle's anoa,[1] is a species of 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.[3] It is also related to the water buffalo, and both are classified in the genus Bubalus.
