Eat like a beat (4)
I believe the answer is:
wolf
'eat' is the definition.
(I know this)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wolf that I've seen before include "shovel down" , "Dog-like animal - womaniser" , "Austrian composer" , "Predatory canine (or man?)" , "Pack-hunting carnivore" .)
