It would be a real shame if they became extinct, David. I hope the Government actively steps in to help prevent that happening.

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderfu,,

The Lord God made them all.

The word “platypus” is derived from two Greek words meaning “flat foot”. Given that the plural of the Greek “pous” is “podes”, we presume that—strictly speaking— platypodes should be living in the Antipodes.

But, according to the Australian Pocket Oxford Dictionary, the accepted plural is “platypuses” or (particularly in scientific and conservation contexts) “platypus”.

The term “platypi” – commonly used in the past – is clearly incorrect, being derived from a Latin plural form.
