New aim - get friend an animal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impala

'animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new aim get friend' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'friend' becomes 'pal' (pal can mean a friend).
'aim' with letters rearranged gives 'ima'.
'ima' going around 'pal' is 'IMPALA'.

'an' is the link.

(Other definitions for impala that I've seen before include "graceful African runner" , "horned beast" , "game animal" , "Leaping antelope" , "one advances by leaps and bounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
