Before noon, everyone gets up to see animal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

llama

'animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'before noon everyone gets up' is the wordplay.
'before noon' becomes 'am'.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'gets up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'am'+'all'='amall'
'amall' in reverse letter order is 'LLAMA'.

'to see' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for llama that I've seen before include "South American transport system" , "South American relative of the camel" , "Pack carrier" , "S American animal related to the camel" , "Andean camelid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
