Animal from China for example? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eland

'animal' is the definition.
(eland is a type of antelope)

'from china for example?' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'china for example?' becomes 'land' (china is a kind of land).
'e'+'land'='ELAND'

(Other definitions for eland that I've seen before include "African mammal" , "Laden (anag.); antelope" , "game animal" , "Animal's" , "Browser" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
