Latin is a 'dead' language, so its meanings don't change over time. This means that the definition of an animal a hundred years from now will have the same meaning it did now and one hundred years ago, so there is no confusion over which animal is referred to. Latin words can also be added together to form one-word descriptions, which are shorter than the English translation and makes them very easy to use.
