	Syncerus nanus

Die woudbuffel (Syncerus caffer nanus), ook bekend as die Afrika-bosbuffel, bosbuffel, dwergbuffel, rooibuffel,^[1] Kongobuffel of boskoei,^[2] is die kleinste subspesie van die buffel.^[3] Dit is verwant aan die Kaapse buffel (Syncerus caffer caffer), die Soedanbuffel (Syncerus caffer brachyceros) en die Nylbuffel (Syncerus caffer aequinoctialis). Dit is egter die enigste subspesie wat hoofsaaklik in die reënwoude van Sentraal-Afrika en Wes-Afrika voorkom, met 'n jaarlikse reënval van ongeveer 1 500 mm (59 duim).^[4] Daar word vermoed dat dit 'n afsonderlike spesie, Syncerus nanus, verteenwoordig.^[5]
