Creature like Tarka having higher temperature in Bow? (5)
I believe the answer is:
otter
'having higher temperature in bow?' is the definition.
('hotter' - I've seen this before - said with the 'H' dropped - a cockney accent.)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for otter that I've seen before include "Sleek river mammal" , "Carnivorous aquatic mammal" , "furry animal" , "Lithe swimmer" , "Fish-eating water animal with brown fur and flat tail" .)
