Around island with fellow reptile (6)
I believe the answer is:
caiman
'reptile' is the definition.
(I know that caiman is a type of crocodilian)
'around island with fellow' is the wordplay.
'around' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'island' becomes 'i' (geographical abbreviation).
'with fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'ca'+'i'+'man'='CAIMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for caiman that I've seen is " reptile".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
