Jungle dweller called during an outburst (5-4)
I believe the answer is:
orang-utan
'outburst' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'jungle dweller called during an' is the wordplay.
'jungle dweller' becomes 'out' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'called' becomes 'rang' (called on the phone).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'out' placed around 'rang' is 'orangut'.
'orangut'+'an'='ORANG-UTAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orang-utan that I've seen before include "Great ape" , "11 across" , "Ape of Borneo and Sumatra" , "Species of ape" , "Endangered ape" .)
