Laughing stock of Africa and Asia (5)
I believe the answer is:
hyena
This might be a double definition.
'laughing stock of africa' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'asia' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "Dog-like animal with howl like laughter" , "Its howl sounds like laughter" , "Laughing carnivore" , "Dog-like African carnivore" , "Carnivore with sloping body" .)
