Hippopotami...

Hippopotamuses - it's Greek, not Latin.

[shoota]

'The noun hippopotamus has a Latin root, which is the derivation of the plural hippopotami. However, hippopotamuses (which adheres to the standard rules for forming plurals) has become marginally more common than hippopotami.'

'The noun hippopotamus has a Latin root"

Utter garbage!

Hippopotamus means "river horse" in Ancient Greek. In Latin, it would be "equus fluminis".
