Beest is just Dutch and Afrikaans for animal
-
Kinda. Although most people would say "dier" for animal in Afrikaans. Beest could be related to "bees" which is singular for cattle. "Beeste" for the plural. That's what I always thought... That the name was more akin to "wild cattle" than "wild beast".
But I'm not a real animalnameologist so...

In Dutch it leans closer to beast than animal
-
O weird, it doesn't have that connotation for me. I am from Flanders tho, not the Netherlands.

That'll do it
