Crossword Genius

Trumpeter amazing the panel (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elephant

'trumpeter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'amazing the panel' is the wordplay.
'amazing' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'panel'='thepanel'
'thepanel' is an anagram of 'ELEPHANT'.

(Other definitions for elephant that I've seen before include "Creature" , "Trunked mammal" , "Largest land mammal" , "Huge African or Indian animal" , "Animal with a trunk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
