The European bison (Bison bonasus, or Europæus)
An extinct European mammal, Bos primigenius, the ancestor of domestic cattle
or auroch Extinct wild ox (Bos primigenius) of Europe, the species from which cattle are probably descended. The aurochs survived in central Poland until 1627. It was black, stood 6 ft (1.8 m) high at the shoulder, and had spreading, forward-curving horns. Some German breeders claim to have re-created this race since 1945, but their animals are smaller and probably lack the aurochs's genetic constitution. The name has sometimes been wrongly applied to the European bison
It is distinct from the Urus of Cæsar, with which it has often been confused
European bison having a smaller and higher head than the North American bison
{i} large European wild ox, bison
large recently extinct long-horned European wild ox; considered one of the ancestors of domestic cattle
The European bison (Bison bonasus, or Europæus), once widely distributed, but now nearly extinct, except where protected in the Lithuanian forests, and perhaps in the Caucasus
