That is not a bull, but an aurochs.
These big, majestic creatures, now extinct, used to live on the Romanian territory and were a symbol of royalty. The image of an aurochs (in Romanian named "Bour") was the emblem of Moldavia, one of the three small Romanian kingdoms that get united in 1824 with Muntenia and in 1918 with Transylvania, forming the modern Romania. This is why nowadays you'll find the symbols of all the 3 kingdoms on the Romanian official emblem.
Romania still has natural reservations where there are hordes of free bisons. (They resemble the old aurochs, as they belong to the same family)
There is an old legend saying that while hunting an aurochs, a prince called Dragos, coming from the other side of the Carpathians, from the Romanian region of Maramures, discovered a beautiful land. He called the land Moldavia and became its first King. This is why they used the image of the aurochs in their emblem. There are different theories about where comes the name Moldova from. Some said it was the name of the hunting dog that guided the king there (Molda), some consider that it derives from the name of a big river or a species of spruce. Actually, nobody knows exactly.

What does the Black bull sign in Spain mean?
The Osborne's black bull in Spain is a silhouetted image of a bull in semi-profile, and is regarded as the unofficial national symbol of Spain. Osborne's black bull was a commercial trade mark of Osborne (producers of sherry and other spirits) but the wide presence of [huge advertisements showing] the bull all across Spanish roads made it a very popular symbol in the Spanish countryside. However, when Spain outlawed billboards on national roads in the early 1990's, the black bulls were to be taken down. The Spaniards protested, as the lone bull towering along the roadside had become a national symbol. The final resolution was that the black bulls could remain but with no words (Osborne) on them. The image of the bull is now displayed in stickers and key rings. Also, at sport events where a Spanish team or individual is taking part The bull has become so closely associated to Spain that Catalan nationalists started a campaign against the only one existing in Catalonia which was repeatedly vandalized and eventually not replaced.
