This animal may take a trip (5)

I believe the answer is:

tapir

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this animal' is the definition.
(tapir is a type of animal)

'take a trip' is the wordplay.
'a trip' can be anagrammed to 'TAPIR'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'may' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tapir that I've seen before include "nocturnal beast" , "Tropical hoofed mammal with a flexible proboscis" , "Nocturnal hoofed animal" , "A trip (anag) - animal" , "Animal with elongated snout" .)
