Some reptiles sported at surgery (9)
I believe the answer is:
tetrapods
'some reptiles' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'sported at surgery' is the wordplay.
'sported at' anagrams to 'TETRAPODS'.
Though, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
