Tamaraw — size comparison — facts and sources
The tamaraw is a small wild buffalo found only on the Philippine island of Mindoro. It inhabits grassy clearings, secondary forests and their edges. Young are reddish-brown; coats darken with age to dark brown or almost black.
It eats grasses, young shoots and bamboo. Usually solitary, it may be more active at night where human pressure is high. Its restricted range means survival depends on preserving refuges on one island.
Animal Diversity Web podaje 106 cm w barku oraz 180–300 kg; opublikowany zakres masy dotyczy nielicznych zmierzonych samic, więc nie udajemy precyzyjnej średniej samca. Na planszy używamy bezpośrednio podanych 106 cm. Rogi, uszy i głowa nie wpływają na skalę.
