Possibly a small group of animals (6)
I believe the answer is:
llamas
'group of animals' is the definition.
'llamas' can be an answer for 'animals' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'group of' bit.
'possibly a small' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'small'='asmall'
'asmall' is an anagram of 'LLAMAS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for llamas that I've seen before include "Camel-like animals" , "Sal and Mal for the animals" , "South American pack animals" , "South American cud-chewing animals" , "domesticated guanacos" .)
