Russian term or phrase: Что за зверь такой?
Здравствуйте еще раз. Помогите, пожалуйста, из того же ролика перевести. Вот это место: https://youtu.be/V5Joy2zwOo8?t=4m48s

Из разговора активиста и водителя, заехавшего на тротуар:

- Представься, кто ты есть такой?

- Я Лев.

- Ты лев?

- Да.

- Слушай, а еще кто ты? Что за зверь такой?

- Это имя такое.

- А, понятно.


Тут, наверное, придется написать Lev, а потом в скобочках расшифровать, что это lion по-русски. Активиста, кстати, на самом деле зовут не Лев, а Михаил, но его называют все Лев, потому что он организатор проекта "Лев против".

English translation:Use 'Lion' / You some kind of animal?
Explanation:
I'm in favor of actually using 'Lion' as a nickname. If Лев were his name, it would be different, but it already is a nickname, so I see no reason to omit here.
