Bolas (from Spanish bola ball also known as boleadoras or Inca ayllo) 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 Australian Aborigines but have been found in excavations of Pre-Columbian settlements especially in Patagonia where indigenous peoples used them to catch 200 pound guanaco (llama-like mammals) and ñandú (birds).
