Crossword Genius

Antelope found in many a land (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nyala

'antelope' is the definition.
(nyala is a kind of antelope)

'in many a land' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NYALA' is hidden in the letters of 'many a land'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nyala that I've seen before include "wild animal" , "Ruminant" , "Antelope of southern Africa" , "Large African antelope" , "crested antelope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Guardian.
