   • 1998, Jane Whitten, Tropical Wildlife of Southeast Asia‎^[1], page 16:

     Anoas need undisturbed forest and cannot adapt to logged areas. The bad-tempered anoa with its sharp short horns is greatly feared, but in spite of this it is periodically suggested as a potential domestic animal. Anyone who has met with an anoa ridicules this idea.
