Animal living off the workers? (8)
I believe the answer is:
anteater
'off the workers?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'animal living' is the wordplay.
'animal' becomes 'ant' (ant is a kind of animal).
'living' becomes 'eater' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ant'+'eater'='ANTEATER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anteater that I've seen before include "Pangolin, for example" , "Scaly insectivore" , "Animal with a long snout and sticky tongue" , "It feeds on termites, etc" , "One's looking for workers" .)
