Extremely low bite from wild animal (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

timber wolf

'animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'extremely low bite from wild' is the wordplay.
'extremely' suggests removing the centre.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'low' with its middle removed is 'lw'.
'lw'+'bite'+'from'='lwbitefrom'
'lwbitefrom' anagrammed gives 'TIMBER-WOLF'.

(Other definitions for timber wolf that I've seen before include "animal" , "Grey beast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
