Carry; animal (4)
I believe the answer is:
bear
I believe this is a double definition.
'carry' is the first definition.
(bearing is a kind of carrying)
'animal' is the second definition.
(bear is a kind of animal)
(Other definitions for bear that I've seen before include "Huge carnivore" , "Falling market for large furry animal" , "Paddington, Rupert" , "Carry; large mammal" , "Support (a weight)" .)
