Also among pandas (3)
I believe the answer is:
and
'also' is the definition.
(both can mean in addition)
'among pandas' is the wordplay.
'among' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'AND' is hidden within 'pandas'.
(Other definitions for and that I've seen before include "Plus" , "Together with" , "& 18 You bet!" , "It connects words, clauses or sentences" , "Word to connect" .)
