Animal caught in rain, dripping (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indri

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

'caught in rain dripping' is the wordplay.
'caught in' indicates a hidden word.
'INDRI' is hidden in the letters of 'rain dripping'.

(Other definitions for indri that I've seen before include "Large Madagascan lemur" , "Species of lemur" , "large primate" , "Short-tailed lemur of Madagascar" , "native of Madagascar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
