Species of tiger, one reads (5)
I believe the answer is:
paper
'species' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paper that I've seen before include "News publication" , "Sort of clip" , "Daily publication" , "It's usually made from wood pulp" , "Threat that seems powerful (but is just a pussy cat!)" .)
