Peculiar shaved animal carries fruit basket (6)
I believe the answer is:
punnet
'fruit basket' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for punnet that I've seen before include "Small basket for berries" , "Strawberry etc. container" , "Small basket for 13 Across (6)" , "Small light basket, for strawberries say" , "Small light basket for fruit" .)
