Babe, for example (3)
I believe the answer is:
pig
'babe for example' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for pig that I've seen before include "Quantity of metal" , "Unforged metal" , "Domestic swine" , "Eat ravenously" , "person who eats too much" .)
