Animal blood, no end — I’ll advise to begin with (7)
I believe the answer is:
gorilla
'animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'blood no end i'll advise to begin with' is the wordplay.
'blood' becomes 'gore' (gore means blood or violence).
'no end' means to remove the last letter.
'to begin with' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'advise' is 'a'.
'gore' with its final letter taken away is 'gor'.
'gor'+'ill'+'a'='GORILLA'
(Other definitions for gorilla that I've seen before include "huge beast" , "big mammal" , "brutal man" , "Largest anthropoid ape" , "The biggest ape" .)
