Antelope turns up in Malay neighbourhoods (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nyala

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

'turns up in malay neighbourhoods' is the wordplay.
'turns up' is a reversal indicator.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'alayn' is hidden within 'malay neighbourhoods'.
'alayn' in reverse letter order is 'NYALA'.

(Other definitions for nyala that I've seen before include "Ruminant" , "Spiral-horned antelope" , "South African native" , "South African antelope - Sudanese city" , "beast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
