Ornithorhynchus anatinus
The original name was Platypus anatinus, from Greek and Latin Words meaning "flat-footed, duck-like". After realising that the name "platypus" had already be given to a group of beetles, the scientist involved assigned the platypus the scientific name of Ornithorhynchus anatinus, the first Word of which means "bird-like snout".
