Caravan creature (5)
I believe the answer is:
camel
'caravan creature' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for camel that I've seen before include "Desert ruminant" , "Light yellowish-brown colour - ruminant" , "Cud-chewing mammal of desert regions" , "Beastly type" , "Yellowish" .)
