What is the official name of the bronze sculpture commonly called the Wall Street Bull that stands on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in Manhattan?

"Charging Bull" actually has an interesting story. It was a piece of protest art, dumped illegally by Italian artist Arturo Di Modica soon after a stock market crash in the 1980s. At first, it was removed by the NYPD, but it was so popular that it was installed at Bowling Green a week later. It's now one of lower Manhattan's most popular attractions.
