Bear's lair (3)

I believe the answer is:

den

'bear's lair' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for den that I've seen before include "Animal lair or gent's study" , "Hideaway" , "Animal shelter" , "Home of the beast" , "Gentleman's study or animal's lair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Newsday, the USA Today, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and The Wall Street Journal.
