Ape gets ringing noise outside tank — runs away (10)
I believe the answer is:
chimpanzee
'ape' is the definition.
(I know that chimpanzee is a type of great ape)
'ringing noise outside tank runs away' is the wordplay.
'ringing noise' becomes 'chime' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go outside others).
'tank' becomes 'panzer' (type of German tank).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'away' is a deletion indicator.
'panzer' with 'r' taken away is 'panze'.
'chime' going around 'panze' is 'CHIMPANZEE'.
'gets' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chimpanzee that I've seen before include "Anthropoid ape" , "Primate" , "Close relative of man" , "African ape with advanced intelligence" , "Intelligent ape" .)
