| The Asian buffalo is classified as Bubalus bubalis, the tamarau as Bubalus mindorensis. |
| American soldiers occupied Mindoro for years before one of them succeeded in killing a tamarau. |
| Few indeed are the men who have killed so much as a single specimen of the tamarau of Mindoro. |
| Mud wallowing is a frequent activity, and most tamarau are found in close proximity to water. |
| Certainly there is no other approximating the tamarau in size which is so tough. |
| The tamarau sleeps during the day, almost invariably lying down in the densest of jungle growth, facing back upon its own trail. |
