I very much appreciate the use of local languages in naming animals and plants.
"Musango is a word from the ChiShona language meaning ‘living in the bush’, in reference to the remote area it was found in. The name of the species, matusadonaensis, comes from the name of the Matusadona National Park near to where the dinosaur was found."
