African native like George or Kate once? (8)
I believe the answer is:
bushbaby
'kate once?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'african native like george' is the wordplay.
'african' becomes 'bush' (I have seen 'Rural African' mean 'bush' so perhaps 'african' could also mean 'bush').
'native like george' becomes 'baby' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bush'+'baby'='BUSHBABY'
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bushbaby that I've seen before include "Small African lemur, like shrubbery infant" , "Small African nocturnal primate with large eyes" , "Nocturnal African lemur (closely related to one of two US presidents?)" , "Small animal" , "African lemur-like primate (closely related to one of two US presidents?)" .)
