African native everyone Irish and Australian backs (7)

I believe the answer is:

zorilla

'african native' is the definition.
(type of polecat native to Africa)

'everyone irish and australian backs' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'irish' becomes 'ir' (abbreviation).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'australian' becomes 'oz' (nickname for Australia).
'backs' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'back' mean this).
'all'+'ir'+'oz'='alliroz'
'alliroz' back-to-front is 'ZORILLA'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
