Also among pandas (3)
I believe the answer is:
and
'also' is the definition.
(both can mean in addition)
'among pandas' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates a hidden word.
'AND' is hidden in the letters of 'pandas'.
(Other definitions for and that I've seen before include "Plus" , "Together with" , "& 18 You bet!" , "It connects words, clauses or sentences" , "Word to connect" .)
