Animal hunting wild fowl (4)

I believe the answer is:

wolf

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

'animal' is the definition.
(I know that wolf is a type of canids)

'hunting wild fowl' is the wordplay.
'fowl' can be anagrammed to 'WOLF'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wolf that I've seen before include "22A [WILD DOG]" , "Eat hastily" , "Carnivore -- breed of 13 down" , "Howling canine that hunts in packs" , "Pack hunter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
