Devil stalking chief primate (5)
I believe the answer is:
chimp
This clue could be a double definition.
'devil stalking chief' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'primate' is the second definition.
(chimp is a kind of primate)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chimp that I've seen before include "Anthropoid ape" , "Arboreal ape from equatorial Africa (abbr)" , "Creature" , "Cheeky primate" , "A great ape (abbr.)" .)
