Animal to see lame, maybe (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'animal' is the definition.
(I know that Camel is a animal)

'see lame maybe' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'lame' is an anagram of 'amel'.
'c'+'amel'='CAMEL'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for camel that I've seen before include "Humped animal" , "Light yellowish-brown colour - ruminant" , "Dromedary, perhaps" , "Yellowish" , "Means of transport" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
