A giant lion with enormous fangs that roamed the Kenyan savannah more than 20 million years ago was one of the largest ever meat-eating mammals, researchers said Thursday. A team unearthed the lower jaw, teeth and other bones of a new species, Simbakubwa kutokaafrika, Swahili for 'big African lion'.  https://www.nationalgeog...-polar-bear-hyaenodonts/

Maybe Latin speakers also found those names really funny and lazy but they sound exotic to us because they are foreign. Somewhere in India or US a kid is very excited and is busy cramming the name Simbakubwa kutokaafrika ndio aringe nayo to his friends.

You could be right but is there no elegant way to say large lion from Africa in swahili? It just sounds like a mzungu threw some swa words together.
