Can you tell me if there's a plural word for species?

Yes, the word "species" is both singular and plural. Isn't that a wild quirk of the English language? 🐾 Many may assume that adding an -s or -es is the standard way to form plurals, like 'dogs' or 'boxes'. However, 'species' follows its own path! This can be attributed to its Latin origin "species" which means kind or sort. As this term was assimilated into English, its plural form remained unchanged, beautifully retaining its Latin origins. English sure is a diverse 'species' of language, isn't it? 😄
