Black-and-white beasts (6)

I believe the answer is:

pandas

(Other definitions for pandas that I've seen before include "Black-and-white Chinese bears" , "Black-and-white mammals of bamboo forests" , "Large black and white mammals" , "Black and white bears from China" , "Chinese bear-like mammals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
