Animal artist with scrapbook in wrong order? (6)

I believe the answer is:

rabbit

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

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

'artist with scrapbook in wrong order?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'artist' could be 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts) and 'ra' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rabbit that I've seen before include "Inferior sportsman" , "Fur; chatter (colloq.)" , "Waffle" , "8's friend with relations" , "Fast-breeding hopper" .)
