Member of cattle tribe thus invading waste container perhaps (5)
I believe the answer is:
bison
'member of cattle' is the definition.
'bison' can be an answer for 'cattle' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'member of' bit.
'tribe thus invading waste container perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'thus' could be 'so' (synonyms) and 'so' is present in the answer.
'container' could be 'bin' (bin is a type of container) and 'bin' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bison that I've seen before include "brute" , "O bins could be full of buffalo" , "North American buffalo" , "Kind of shaggy cattle" , "It's a buffalo in America" .)
