See her in pants at the zoo perhaps (8)
I believe the answer is:
panthers
'pants at the zoo perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'see her' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'her' could be 'anthe' and 'anthe' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for panthers that I've seen before include "American big cats" , "These felines can net harps, strangely" .)
