They were used for hunting and herding – the balls would be swung around to gain speed and then released, wrapping themselves around the quarry animal’s legs.Charles Darwin's journal of his journey on the Beagle has a very amusing account of his attempts to throw bolas - and the resulting amusement of his guides.
