The Vânători-Neamț Natural Park (Romanian: Parcul Natural Vânători Neamţ) is situated in north-east Romania, in Neamţ County. It is one of the few places where the European bison (Bison bonasus) can be seen.

The aurochs head ("cap de bour" in Romanian) is the heraldic symbol of the historical province of Moldavia, although the aurochs (now extinct) was a separate species from the European bison.
