I regularly use the #swahili word “chunga” in conversation with folks who speak #americanenglish. Everyone seems to get what I’m saying contextually and no one has ever asked me what it means. The word basically means “watch over” or “take care of” so it’s very practical. Are there other uncommon non #english terms you use with good success? #linguistics

#African #FossilFriday

Today, #Africa's iconic #predators are #carnivorans such as #hyenas, #lions, and wild #dogs. But before this group arrived, a different type of #predator roamed Africa: #hyaenodonts (despite their name, not close relatives of living carnivorans) This #hyaenodont, Pakakali (#Swahili for "fierce #cat") is from #Nsungwe, #Tanzania 🇹🇿, a #Miocene site that dates to just before the arrival of carnivorans from #Eurasia.
