Feel kind of large animal (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elk

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'large animal' is the definition.
(large deer)

'feel kind' is the wordplay.
'ELK' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elk that I've seen before include "Large northern deer" , "Fraternal American" , "Type of moose" , "American animal" , "European moose" .)
