Caught animal entering bankrupt capital (9)
I believe the answer is:
bucharest
'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Romania)
'caught animal entering bankrupt' is the wordplay.
'caught animal' becomes 'chare' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'bankrupt' becomes 'bust' (I've seen this in another clue).
'chare' going into 'bust' is 'BUCHAREST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bucharest that I've seen before include "European city" , "Romanian capital" , "European capital" , "Capital of Romania" , "Balkan city" .)
