Aurochs

Aurochs, the German name of the extinct Bos primigenius (the Urus of Caesar), often improperly applied to the European Bison. The error is more than 300 years old, for it was noted in a book published at Antwerp in 1557; since then, however, it has found its way into many zoological textbooks.
