Ross

I believe the answer is:

hyena

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">cousin of an aardwolf</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "Carrion-eating mammal" , "He's sometimes spotted" , "Predatory dog-like animal, makes sound like laughing" , "Dog-like carrion-feeding mammal" , "Meat-eater" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times.
