Zebu
\Ze"bu\, n. [?. z['e]bu; of uncertain origin.] (Zo["o]l.)
A bovine mammal (
Ros Indicus) extensively domesticated in
India, China, the East Indies, and East Africa. It usually
has short horns, large pendulous ears, slender legs, a large
dewlap, and a large, prominent hump over the shoulders; but
these characters vary in different domestic breeds, which
range in size from that of the common ox to that of a large
mastiff.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Some of the varieties are used as beasts of burden, and
some fore for riding, while others are raised for their
milk and flesh. The Brahmin bull, regarded as sacred by
the Hindoos, also belongs to this species. The male is
called also
Indian bull,
Indian ox,
Madras ox,
and
sacred bull.
[1913 Webster]
