Antelope dash over Germany (5)
I believe the answer is:
eland
'antelope' is the definition.
(eland is a kind of antelope)
'dash over germany' is the wordplay.
'dash' becomes 'elan' ('elan' can be a synonym of 'dash').
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'germany' becomes 'd' (international vehicle registration code).
'elan'+'d'='ELAND'
(Other definitions for eland that I've seen before include "Large spiral-horned African antelope" , "African beast" , "Ruminant" , "wild creature" , "Wild beast" .)
