It is slightly smaller than that of the water buffalo (kalabaw), domisticated and which commonly found in the rice plains to help the farmers plow the land all over the Philippine island. They are now among of those numerous animals in the country afraid to be in the brink of extinction because of the different activities made by us people. Now, their population is decreased for more than fifty percent for years that had passed, a number if cannot be contained will advance to total extermination.

The island of Mindoro has vast grasslands, wonderful for the animal like the tamaraw. Now, that their lands are infested by the informal settlers and a tribe of the Tao-Buid.
