Doglike carnivore (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hyena

'doglike carnivore' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "Carnivorous animal with howl like laughter" , "Laughing mammal?" , "African canine" , "Carrion-feeding carnivore" , "Nocturnal animal with hysterical laugh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Independent.
