Animal bedding perhaps overturned around corner, revealing African animals (8)
I believe the answer is:
warthogs
'african animals' is the definition.
'animal bedding perhaps overturned around corner' is the wordplay.
'animal bedding perhaps' becomes 'straw'.
'overturned' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'corner' becomes 'hog' (I've seen this in other clues).
'straw' in reverse letter order is 'warts'.
'warts' placed around 'hog' is 'WARTHOGS'.
'revealing' acts as a link.
(Another definition for warthogs that I've seen is " African wild pigs".)
