The platypus is strange because it is an egg-laying mammal. Most mammals give live birth, but the platypus (together with the echidna) lays eggs in order to reproduce. The baby platypus is hatched from an egg after about 8-10 days of incubation.

What is the complete subject of the sentence another animal with a strange name is the platypus?

"Another animal with a strange name" is the subject. "is the Platypus" is the predicate. "Another" & "with a strange name" all modify the noun "animal". "is" is the verb. "Platypus" is a proper noun, but in this sentence it is used as an indirect object in the predicate, and refers to the "animal with a strange name" in the subject. "animal with a strange name" is the object of the sentence. The sentence would be diagramed thusly... subject | predicate Another animal with a strange name | is the Platypus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
