Animal going round a shopping precinct (5)
I believe the answer is:
llama
'animal' is the definition.
(I know that llama is a type of animal)
'going round a shopping precinct' is the wordplay.
'going round' is a reversal indicator.
'shopping precinct' becomes 'mall' (shopping mall).
'a'+'mall'='amall'
'amall' backwards is 'LLAMA'.
(Other definitions for llama that I've seen before include "Woollen cloth" , "Camel-like wool source" , "wool supplier" , "As bearer of burdens" , "South American relative of the camel" .)
