bheraṇḍa(ka), bheruṇḍaka, m. (Pali bheraṇḍaka, jackal acc. to Jāt. comm. 〔v.276.9〕
the form bheruṇḍa, cited by Burnouf, Lotus 〔371〕, is read bheruṇḍaka in our SP, and has, doubtless by chance, not been noted elsewhere in BHS), some sort of beast of prey which makes a terrible sound (Mv 〔ii.140.15〕 °ḍa-bhairava [mss. bhīrava, bhīruva]-ruteṣu
〔iii.123.9〕
〔264.12〕) and eats human flesh (SP 〔83.11〕
〔85.13〕)
Tib. renders variously, on Mvy 〔4785〕 spyaṅ (wolf) or ce spyaṅ (jackal, acc. to Das also fox)
on SP 〔83.11〕 ce spyaṅ, on 〔85.13〕 and 〔86.12〕 lce spyaṅ (= ce spyaṅ)
on LV 〔306.6〕 wa (fox, but cf. wa spyaṅ, jackal)
the word śṛgāla, jackal, is prob. a different animal, since it is closely associated with our word in LV 〔306.6〕
SP 〔83.11〕 and 〔86.12〕
in LV, where Tib. wa renders our word, śṛgāla is rendered by ce spyaṅ, while in the two SP passages the reverse is the case, wa rendering śṛgāla! Kern on SP renders hyena, a plausible guess. Forms: bheraṇḍa Mv 〔ii.140.15〕

the hyena is ‘spotted’, as well as the leopard.
