Animals in oriental countries (6)
I believe the answer is:
elands
'animals' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'oriental countries' is the wordplay.
'oriental' becomes 'e'.
'countries' becomes 'lands' ('land' can be a synonym of 'country').
'e'+'lands'='ELANDS'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for elands that I've seen before include "African antelopes with twisted horns" , "Animals" , "Large African antelopes" .)
