What's involved adapting an endangered species? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
giant panda
'endangered species?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'what's involved adapting an' is the wordplay.
'what's involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'adapting'+'an'='adaptingan'
'adaptingan' anagrammed gives 'GIANT PANDA'.
(Other definitions for giant panda that I've seen before include "furry animal" , "Something native to China" , "temperamental Chinese import" , "endangered species" , "Creature" .)
