Doglike mammal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hyena

'doglike mammal' 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 "Flesh-eating dog with eerie laugh" , "Dog-like animal with howl like laughter" , "African canine" , "Wild animal" , "Laughing carnivore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the USA Today, The Independent, the Universal and the Penny Press.
