Do you know where this comes from? From what I can gather it's a Michael Sowa work, but I can't find it. This is the kind of art I'd be willing to buy *grins*
Well, close enough to make no never mind (I could bore your ear off about it. Don't encourage me.)
Pliny says the Bonnacon resembles a bull, but "its horns are curved back in such a manner as to be of no use for fighting". They tend to get turned into backwards dragons by fantasy, and the picture may depict dragons with turned back horns... or ears, or fins... the lighting is bad.

Doesn't it need stags antlers though?
