Puzzle Description:
Clarus the dogcow -- This icon was created as part of the Cairo font for the first Macintosh. Even once the font was retired, Clarus stayed in the OS for a long time to assist with page orientation for PostScript printers.

Wikipedia has more information about the dogcow:#2: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Apr 17, 2012 [SPOILER]

Unfortunately, Apple's tech notes on the dogcow are no longer available, but you can still view them on the wayback machine:

How odd. I am clearly not up on my Mac lore. :)#3: Teresa K (fasstar) on Apr 17, 2012

Perfectly named and a fun solve, Wombat.#5: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Apr 27, 2012 [SPOILER]
I have never used a Mac so maybe that is why I have never heard of Clarus but he/she is cute#6: Wombat (wombatilim) on Apr 30, 2012 [SPOILER]
All dogcows are female. A male dogcow would be called a dogbull, and that would just be confusing. ;)#7: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Apr 6, 2020 [SPOILER]
And if the dog half were a bulldog, it's be a bulldogbull.#8: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Apr 6, 2020 [SPOILER]
And if the dog half were female, it'd be a bitchcow.
(or bitchbull).
Okay, cabin fever ...
