Burrowing animal, or llama I'd cooked! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armadillo

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

'burrowing animal' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'or llama i'd cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'or'+'llama'+'id'='orllamaid'
'orllamaid' anagrammed gives 'ARMADILLO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for armadillo that I've seen before include "Horny-plated creature" , "one of the Animals makes appearance" , "Molar laid out for the horny-plated animal" , "Mammal covered with horny plates" , "Nocturnal animal" .)
