Bounder dying to tour Californian city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eland

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

'bounder' is the definition.
(type of antelope - something which bounds around)

'dying to tour californian city' is the wordplay.
'dying' becomes 'end' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to tour' is an insertion indicator (to tour can mean to go around).
'californian city' becomes 'la'.
'end' placed around 'la' is 'ELAND'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eland that I've seen before include "Large spiral-horned African antelope" , "Large African antelope with spiral horns" , "African beast" , "Largest living antelope" , "Spiral-horn antelope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
