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

'forest creature' is the definition.
'echidna' can be an answer for 'creature' (echidna is a kind of creature). I'm not certain of the 'forest' bit.

'can hide bananas' is the wordplay.
'bananas' indicates anagramming the letters (informal term for mad).
'can'+'hide'='canhide'
'canhide' with letters rearranged gives 'ECHIDNA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for echidna that I've seen before include "This insectivore" , "Toothless type" , "Little animal" , "Insectivorous mammal" , "One preying on the workers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
