Animal skin (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pelt

'animal skin' is the definition.
(I know that pelt is a type of animal skin)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pelt that I've seen before include "Animal skin with hair still on it" , "Subject to bombardment" , "fall heavily" , "Skin - bombard - hurry!" , "Rain cats and dogs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune and The Sunday Times.
