Animal of many a kind? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yak

'animal' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Tibetan animal ' mean 'yak' so perhaps 'animal' could also mean 'yak')

'of many a kind?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'YAK' can be found hidden inside 'many a kind'.

(Other definitions for yak that I've seen before include "Long-haired ox of central Asia" , "Large long-haired ox" , "Himalayan bovine" , "Gossip; ox" , "Long-haired ox of Tibet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
