Animal skin to be treated (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steinbok

'animal' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'skin to be treated' is the wordplay.
'treated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'skin'+'to'+'be'='skintobe'
'skintobe' with letters rearranged gives 'STEINBOK'.

(Other definitions for steinbok that I've seen before include "one ruminates" , "example of African fauna" .)
