Native Australian, reportedly, may fish with spectacles (8)

KANGAROO

Sound-alike (reportedly) of CAN (may, as in “you can go now”) + GAR (a fish) + OO (spectacles = slang for two zeros; especially in cricket, where “a pair” = short for a pair of spectacles = out for a score of zero in both innings of a match). An animal native to Australia.
