The Dun Cow was a huge savage beast that roamed Dunsmore Heath near Dunchurch, and Guy of Warwick killed it. A great rib said to be from the cow was long shown at Warwick Castle. CONFLICT: Wikipedia says the 'rib' is a narwhal tusk, while Visit Warwickshire says it was almost certainly a whale bone.
