Jumper of angora, OK for a change (8)
I believe the answer is:
kangaroo
'jumper' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'angora ok for a change' is the wordplay.
'for a change' indicates an anagram.
'angora'+'ok'='angoraok'
'angoraok' anagrammed gives 'KANGAROO'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for kangaroo that I've seen before include "Antipodean marsupial" , "Jumping marsupial" , "Australian animal -- a no-go ark (anag)" , "One bounces" , "Jumper of grey or red" .)
