Beast in man? I'm a lady! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

animal

'beast' is the definition.
(giraffe is a type of animal)

'in man? i'm a lady' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ANIMAL' is hidden in the letters of 'man im a lady'.

(Other definitions for animal that I've seen before include "savage" , "Mammal" , "cat, perhaps" , "Animate being" , "Man or beast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
