Burrowing animal can hide all over the place (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

echidna

'burrowing animal' is the definition.
(type of burrowing animal)

'can hide all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' indicates anagramming the letters.
'can'+'hide'='canhide'
'canhide' with letters rearranged gives 'ECHIDNA'.

(Other definitions for echidna that I've seen before include "Little animal" , "Spiny egg-laying Australian mammal" , "Such a beast" , "Oz native" , "Prickly creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
