Yes, with most nouns ending in "vowel+o", you add an "s" to make it plural.

Examples:

curio - curios

video - videos

kangaroo - kangaroos

zoo - zoos

kazoo - kazoos

igloo - igloos

folio - folios

cuckoo - cuckoos

radio - radios

stereo - stereos

cameo - cameos

patio - patios

ratio - ratios

audio - audios

cheerio - cheerios

nuncio - nuncios

embryo - embryos

rodeo - rodeos

duo - duos

boo - boos

Also, these "o"s are followed by a vowel at the end of a word, and you still add "s" to make it plural...

Boa - boas

Toe - toes
