Sounds like a duck, right?

I'm going to guess:

aNAS PLATee ring-kohs

All the a's are closer to "ah" or "eh" than a long "a", in other words, the a in Dash rather than Day.

Not positive, but I usually pronounce species names right

Of course, the Anas platyrhincos pronounces it "QUACK" with the same "a" sound.
