Best Answer

The scientific name for platypus is "Ornithorhynchus anatinus." Platypus are semi-aquatic mammals indigenous to eastern Australia. They are the only living member of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus). Platypus are one of the few types of mammals that are venomous.

It should be noted, however, that animals do not have botanical names. A botanical name is used only in reference to plants.
