Parable or play about great white hunter? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
polar bear
'great white hunter?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'parable or play' is the wordplay.
'play' indicates anagramming the letters.
'parable'+'or'='parableor'
'parableor' with letters rearranged gives 'POLAR BEAR'.
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for polar bear that I've seen before include "Arctic creature" , "Great white animal of the Arctic" , "Largest carnivorous land mammal" , "Beast of the Arctic" , "big brute" .)
