    zebu
    [ noun ]
    domesticated ox having a humped back and long horns and a large dewlap; used chiefly as a draft animal in India and east Asia
    <noun.animal>


    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.

    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}.
