WHAT DOES BOLAS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

bolas

Bolas

Bolas are a throwing weapon superficially similar to the surujin, made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, designed to capture animals by entangling their legs. They were most famously used by the gauchos, but have been found in excavations of Pre-Columbian settlements, especially in Patagonia, where indigenous peoples used them to catch 200 pound guanaco and ñandú. They were also used in battle by the Inca army. They have also been found as a modern-day tool in North America at the Calico Early Man Site.
