Quoting the two first sentences of the Semantic manual:

    "Semantic is a suite of Emacs libraries and utilities for
     parsing source code.  At its core is a lexical analyzer
     and two parser generators (‘bovinator’ and ‘wisent’)
     written in Emacs Lisp"

There it is, the bovinator. It was the first (and thus for that time
the only) parser in Semantic. At that time, AFAIR, the whole thing
was called Semantic Bovinator back then. Bovinator acquired a younger
(but stronger) sister called Wisent, which is an LALR parser fashioned
after Bison.
