A small assortment of animals (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

llamas

'animals' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a small assortment' is the wordplay.
'assortment' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'small'='asmall'
'asmall' anagrammed gives 'LLAMAS'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for llamas that I've seen before include "Sal and Mal for the animals" , "South American pack animals" , "domesticated guanacos" , "South American cud-chewing animals" , "Andean pack animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
