Bos javanicus usually has white lower legs and I think the horns are not like your Texas longhorn's ;-)

OK, I changed it to unknown for now, could it be a male of the Banteng?

OK, I've made it unknown, I cannot find the documentation I had from the zoo at the moment.

Those horns look very smooth and conical for an Asiatic water buffalo. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/lipkee/4941...
