On paper, this may seem an easy puzzle – a soft way to start the year. But beware: can you mix four consecutive letters in ANIMAL with PANDA to create a new creature?

So, the letters of PANDA remain in order, but the four consecutive letters in ANIMAL may be rearranged and slotted in/around?

I'm thinking African ungulates at the moment... will attempt at a more reasonable hour.

That must be it, Nib. I think I have the same (6 letter) answer as you. Maybe the ABC will make PANDA their new panel discussion show this year.

Two consecutive letters also gives you a plant!
