Bear-like mammal (5)
I believe the answer is:
panda
'bearlike mammal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for panda that I've seen before include "Chinese native" , "Exotic animal" , "Bear-like mammal of China" , "Large bear from the bamboo forests of China and Tibet" , "Black and white Chinese bear" .)
