About the female animals, exaggerates (8)

I believe the answer is:

overdoes

'exaggerates' is the definition.
('overdo' can be a synonym of 'exaggerate')

'about the female animals' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'over' (I've seen this before).
'the female animals' becomes 'does'.
'over'+'does'='OVERDOES'

(Another definition for overdoes that I've seen is " Exaggerates".)
