Lebrela de Términos, Female greyhound dog in Laguna de Términos, Mexico
The greyhound demonstrated exceptional hunting abilities, catching rabbits and deer on Carmen Island within the Laguna de Términos coastal system.
Spanish explorers lost their hunting dog during Juan de Grijalva's expedition in 1518, and Hernán Cortés's fleet found her ten months later in 1519.
The greyhound's story appears in chronicles by Bernal Díaz del Castillo, documenting the early Spanish expeditions to Mexico's coastal regions.
The dog's hunting skills proved essential for the Spanish crews, as she provided food by catching prey and bringing it back to the shore.
The female greyhound survived independently for ten months on Carmen Island, maintaining her hunting instincts and recognition of human companions.
