Pliny the Elder / The Aberdeen Bestiary
Bonnacon
Themes & interpretation: Fabulous self-defence; modern comic appeal
In bestiary legend, the bonnacon resembles a bull whose inward-curving horns are useless for defence. It escapes pursuers by ejecting dung that burns them. Accounts vary in the distance described; this is a fabulous animal story, not zoology.
