See her in pants at the zoo perhaps (8)

I believe the answer is:

panthers

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

'pants at the zoo perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'see her' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'her' could be 'anthe' and 'anthe' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for panthers that I've seen before include "American big cats" , "These felines can net harps, strangely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
