Creature which may be part hen (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panther

'creature' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'may be part hen' is the wordplay.
'may be' indicates an anagram.
'part'+'hen'='parthen'
'parthen' anagrammed gives 'PANTHER'.

'which' is the link.

(Other definitions for panther that I've seen before include "Big cat" , "See 2" , "Then rap the large black cat" , "Black leopard" , "kind of feline" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
