Father also included bear (5)
I believe the answer is:
panda
'bear' is the definition.
'father also included' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa is a kind of father).
'also' becomes 'and' (I've seen this before).
'included' indicates putting letters inside.
'pa' placed around 'and' is 'PANDA'.
(Other definitions for panda that I've seen before include "Large bear from the bamboo forests of China and Tibet" , "Endangered creature" , "(a cuddly-looking bear)" , "Chinese native" , "Asian animal" .)
