River bend with a big animal in its name (5)

I believe the answer is:

oxbow

(Other definitions for oxbow that I've seen before include "Neat collar" , "water feature" , "Horseshoe-shaped loop of river" , "large bend" , "Loop formed by a horseshoe bend in a river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
