A pronghorn antelope (a North American animal) or a domestic animal with patchwork coloring, popular in Spanish colonial ranching.
From Spanish berrendo meaning piebald or patchwork-colored. Possibly from Latin verruca (wart or spot) or related to the motley coloring of the animal. Used in Southwest and Mexican colonial ranching to describe spotted livestock.
The pronghorn is the second-fastest land animal on Earth (after the cheetah) and can run 55 mph, but they evolved that speed to escape now-extinct American cheetahs—they're built for predators that died out thousands of years ago!
