snarls

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

'growls angrily' is the definition.
'snarls' can be an answer for 'growls' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'angrily' bit.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snarls that I've seen before include "Growls of an angry dog" , "Growls angrily with bared teeth" , "Growls angrily, or tangles" , "Growls fiercely or tangles up" .)
