Broken horn is a disadvantage for these animals (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhinos

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a disadvantage for these animals' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'broken horn is' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'horn'+'is'='hornis'
'hornis' is an anagram of 'RHINOS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhinos that I've seen before include "Massive mammals with one or two horns, in short" , "Horned mammals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
