     (Zool.)
     A very large, powerful, and savage extinct bovine animal
     ({Bos urus} or {Bos primigenius}) anciently abundant in
     Europe. It appears to have still existed in the time of
     Julius Caesar. It had very large horns, and was hardly
     capable of domestication. Called also, {ur}, {ure}, and
