Animals retreating are getting little coverage (6)
I believe the answer is:
llamas
'animals' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'getting little coverage' is the wordplay.
'getting' indicates putting letters inside.
'little' becomes 'l' (abbreviation for little).
'coverage' becomes 'lamas' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'l' inserted into 'lamas' is 'LLAMAS'.
'retreating are' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for llamas that I've seen before include "South American animals like the camel" , "domesticated guanacos" , "Andean pack animals" , "South American animals related to camels but humpless" , "Sal and Mal for the animals" .)
