Conceals pelts (5)
I believe the answer is:
hides
I believe this is a double definition.
'conceals' is the first definition.
('hide' can be a synonym of 'conceal')
'pelts' is the second definition.
('hide' can be a synonym of 'pelt')
(Other definitions for hides that I've seen before include "Cloaks" , "Conceals - animal skins" , "Dressed skins of animals" , "Pelts" , "screens" .)
