South American animal (5)
I believe the answer is:
llama
'south american animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for llama that I've seen before include "Camel-like animal" , "Pack animal, native to the Andes" , "Domesticated pack animal of the Andes" , "South American pack animal" , "mammal that chews cud" .)
