Ross

I believe the answer is:

iguanodon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'big herbivore' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'seen in antigua? no donkey' is the wordplay.
'seen in' indicates a hidden word.
'IGUANODON' can be found hidden inside 'antigua no donkey'.

'once' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for iguanodon that I've seen before include "big beast" , "Old lizard" , "Massive dinosaur with long heavy tail" , "reptile now extinct" , "It used to eat plants" .)
