Animals left with monks in Asia (6)
I believe the answer is:
llamas
'animals' is the definition.
(llama is a type of animal)
'left with monks in asia' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'monks' could be 'lamas' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'lamas' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for llamas that I've seen before include "South American animals related to camels but humpless" , "S American animals related to the camel" , "domesticated guanacos" , "South American pack animals" , "Sal and Mal for the animals" .)
