![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
zebra
'striped african animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for zebra that I've seen before include "Horse-like striped beast" , "Black-and-white striped equine" , "Animal like striped pony" , "Wild animal like striped white horse" , "Striped mammal" .)
