From Nepal, the wild animal (8)
I believe the answer is:
elephant
'wild animal' is the definition.
'elephant' can be an answer for 'animal' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'wild' bit.
'from nepal the' is the wordplay.
'from' is an anagram indicator (from the letters).
'nepal'+'the'='nepalthe'
'nepalthe' with letters rearranged gives 'ELEPHANT'.
(Other definitions for elephant that I've seen before include "Large land mammal" , "Trumpeting animal" , "The plane (anag.)" , "it's said to have lots of memory" , "Pachyderm hunted for ivory" .)
