Bamboo eater (5)
I believe the answer is:
panda
'bamboo eater' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for panda that I've seen before include "(a cuddly-looking bear)" , "Endangered animal" , "Bamboo-eating animal" , "Endangered bamboo eater" , "Large bear from the bamboo forests of China and Tibet" .)
