Creature in the wall at Avignon? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lemur

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

This could be a double definition.

'creature' is the first definition.
(lemur is a kind of animal)

'wall at avignon?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'in the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lemur that I've seen before include "Madagascan primate" , "Tree-living primate" , "Madagascan monkey" , "Arboreal mammal common to Madagascar" , "Large-eyed animal with foxy face and furry tail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
