Swift runner, zebra left eagle confused (7)
I believe the answer is:
gazelle
'swift runner' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gazelle that I've seen before include "Small graceful antelope" , "Slender antelope" , "Large-eyed antelope" , "Graceful beast" , "''both / beautiful, one a ...'' (Yeats)" .)
