Wild canine (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

jackal

coyote

(Other definitions for jackal that I've seen before include "A wild flesh-eating dog-like animal" , "The Day of the - (Forsyth)" , "Nocturnal dog-like predator" , "Animal related to the dog" , "Menial worker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Sydney Morning Herald.
