Neutral tone sound recording, possibly a gorilla (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
great ape
'gorilla' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'neutral tone sound recording possibly a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'tone' could be 'g' and 'g' is located in the answer.
'sound' could be 'tap' (tapping is a kind of sounding) and 'tap' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ree' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for great ape that I've seen before include "Gorilla, perhaps" , "Large primate" , "orang-utan, for example" , "Chimp perhaps" , "Eg, gorilla, chimpanzee" .)
