A large short-tailed Madagascan lemur protected by train driver (5)
I believe the answer is:
indri
'a large short-tailed madagascan lemur' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'protected by train driver' is the wordplay.
'protected by' indicates a hidden word.
'INDRI' is hidden in the letters of 'train driver'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indri that I've seen before include "Large Madagascan lemur" , "large primate" , "Short-tailed lemur of Madagascar" , "Species of lemur" , "Animal" .)
