Platypi

Answer by  CatherineKlay (440)

The plural of platypus is "platypuses" or just "platypus. " Sometimes people use "platypi," but that is just using a Latin-sounding made-up word.

Some people might write or say "platypae," thinking that it's origin is Latin. Actually, the origin is Greek and the correct plural is platypuses.

The plural of platypus (latin name Ornithorhynchus anatinus) could acceptably be referred to as platypi, but using correct latin grammar would be platypodes.

platypus comes from a Greek stem, so the technical, etymologically correct plural would be platypodes.
