Head sorry about mammal (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
dray horse
'mammal' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'head sorry about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'head'+'sorry'='headsorry'
'headsorry' with letters rearranged gives 'DRAY-HORSE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dray horse that I've seen is " load-bearer".)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
