Animal with a rhythmic trot (3)
I believe the answer is:
fox
This clue might be a double definition.
'animal' is the first definition.
(I know that Fox is a human)
'rhythmic trot' is the second definition.
'fox' can be an answer for 'trot' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'rhythmic' bit.
'with a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fox that I've seen before include "earth-dweller" , "one with brush" , "Countryside carnivore" , "Baffle; mammal" , "Deceive in vulpine way" .)
