Many a large animal found inside (5)
I believe the answer is:
nyala
'inside' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'many a large animal found' is the wordplay.
'found' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NYALA' can be found hidden inside 'many a large animal'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nyala that I've seen before include "South African resident" , "wild animal" , "Spiral-horned antelope" , "Antelope of southern Africa" , "one of a herd" .)
