Animals sozzled in London? (9)
I believe the answer is:
elephants
'animals' is the definition.
(elephant is a kind of animal)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elephants that I've seen before include "Jumbos" , "The planes (anag.)" , "Largest animals" , "Animals from the palest hen" , "big game" .)
