Flesh-eating virus racoon develops (11)

I believe the answer is:

carnivorous

'flesh-eating' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'virus racoon develops' is the wordplay.
'develops' indicates an anagram.
'virus'+'racoon'='virusracoon'
'virusracoon' is an anagram of 'CARNIVOROUS'.

(Other definitions for carnivorous that I've seen before include "Flesh-eating" , "Meat-eating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
