Wouldn't Jabba being 'stupid as fuck' and making erroneous claims about nature be the less convoluted answer here? Bioengineering, canon or not, sounds like the more complicated explanation.

This is what I hate about Star Wars lore. Same with the parsecs gaffe (I think it's even pointed out in the screenplay that Han is transparently bullshitting them).

Both of these make sense, but no. They had to make super convoluted explanations in secondary sources and everyone treats that as gospel for some reason.
