Being hirsute is dangerous! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hairy

I believe this is a double definition.

'being hirsute' is the first definition.
('hairy' can be a synonym of 'hirsute')

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

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for hairy that I've seen before include "alarming" , "Scary" , "description of Jacob's brother Esau" , "like Esau" , "Frightening - like a bear?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
