Gorilla sat uneasily, seeing swamp predators (10)
I believe the answer is:
alligators
'swamp predators' is the definition.
(I know this)
'gorilla sat uneasily' is the wordplay.
'uneasily' is an anagram indicator.
'gorilla'+'sat'='gorillasat'
'gorillasat' is an anagram of 'ALLIGATORS'.
'seeing' acts as a link.
(Another definition for alligators that I've seen is " swamp predators appearing".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
