Animal getting creamy food, we hear (5)
I believe the answer is:
moose
'animal' is the definition.
(type of animal)
'creamy food we hear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'food' could be 'e' (E is an example) and 'e' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'moos' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'getting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moose that I've seen before include "Ungulate" , "Large US deer" , "beasts" , "Large northern deer" , "North American deer" .)
