New aim - get friend an animal (6)
I believe the answer is:
impala
'an animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'new aim get friend' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'get' indicates putting letters inside.
'friend' becomes 'pal' (pal is a kind of friend**).
'aim' anagrammed gives 'ima'.
'ima' enclosing 'pal' is 'IMPALA'.
(Other definitions for impala that I've seen before include "graceful African runner" , "horned beast" , "game animal" , "Leaping antelope" , "one advances by leaps and bounds" .)
