Tabloid support for south-east Asian inhabitant (3,4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3

3,4

sun bear

'south-east asian inhabitant' is the definition.
(Asian animal)

'tabloid support' is the wordplay.
'tabloid' becomes 'sun' (The Sun, UK newspaper).
'support' becomes 'bear' (I've seen this before**).
'sun'+'bear'='SUN-BEAR'

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for sun bear that I've seen is " Creature seen at night".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
