Nag a pandit to round up wild animal (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

giant panda

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'up wild animal' is the definition.
'giant panda' can be an answer for 'animal' (I have seen 'furry animal' mean 'giant panda' so perhaps 'animal' could also mean 'giant panda'). I am not sure about the 'up wild' bit.

'nag a pandit to round' is the wordplay.
'to round' is an anagram indicator.
'nag'+'a'+'pandit'='nagapandit'
'nagapandit' anagrammed gives 'GIANT PANDA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for giant panda that I've seen before include "Large black and white mammal" , "Creature" , "temperamental Chinese import" , "furry animal" , "Something native to China" .)
