    Nope, but there seems to be a few other animals that do have paradoxus in their scientific names. Quite a few actually, and at least one of them is a snake.

    There's a Solenodon called paradoxus too, I think It's Haitian.

    The lowest Order of Mammalia, containing mammals which have only one opening or vent for the genital, urinary, and digestive organs. The Order comprises the duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus paradoxus) and several species of spiny ant-eaters of the genera Tachyglossus (or Echidna)

    It was independently described as Ornithorhynchus paradoxus by Johann Blumenbach in 1800 (from a specimen given to him by Sir Joseph Banks)[8] and following the rules of priority of nomenclature it was later officially recognised as Ornithorhynchus anatinus.[7] The scientific name Ornithorhynchus is derived from ορνιθόρυνχος ("ornithorhynkhos"), which literally means "bird snout" in Greek, and anatinus which means "duck-like" in Latin.

    Somehow it seems like my current title would be a lot more humble than that one.
