Females in sheepskin coats (4)
I believe the answer is:
ewes
This clue could be a double definition.
'females' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'sheepskin coats' is the second definition.

Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ewes that I've seen before include "members of flock" , "wool producers" , "Female sheep" , "Females in the flock" , "farm animals" .)
