Berendo

/bəˈrɛndoʊ/ noun

Definition

A pronghorn antelope with stripes or bands, or a type of wild cattle with similar markings, found in southwestern North America.

Etymology

From Spanish 'berendo,' possibly derived from 'berrendo' (spotted or streaked), which may come from Basque or Latin roots referring to variegated colors.

Kelly Says

Pronghorn antelopes are the second-fastest land animals and can run 60 mph—likely because they evolved to escape now-extinct American cheetahs, not modern coyotes!
