Tamaraw

The tamaraw is a small buffalo found only on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. It's the country's only native bovine, though it may have once roamed Luzon too. These shy grazers have lost most of their range due to hunting and habitat destruction.

• Smaller than most buffalo species, earning it the nickname 'dwarf buffalo'.
• Once lived across Mindoro from beaches to mountain slopes over 2000m high.
• Now survives only in a few isolated grassy plains.
