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...

European explorer, pointing at wild animal: "Excuse me sir, what is that?"
Local: "It's a wild animal."
European explorer, writing it down: "Thank you!"

No it's the Wild eBeast, the predecessor to the eMachine and the e-mail.

Is it related to Wile eCoyote?

This always reminds me of the Perfectly Normal Beasts from Mostly Harmless.
