Follow a noisy animal - to its earth presumably (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
dog fox
'its earth presumably' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'follow a noisy animal' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'dog' (dog can mean to follow or torment).
'a noisy' becomes 'f'.
'animal' becomes 'ox' (castrated bull).
'dog'+'f'+'ox'='DOG-FOX'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dog fox that I've seen is " Vulpine male".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
