Animal of the camel kind? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elk

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

'of the camel kind?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ELK' is hidden in the letters of 'camel kind'.

(Other definitions for elk that I've seen before include "European moose" , "Big beast" , "Large deer of N Europe and Asia" , "Fraternal American" , "Big deer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
