Harry of Hogwarts ignoring first animal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

otter

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

'animal' is the definition.
(I know that otter is a type of animal)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for otter that I've seen before include "Fish-eater of the weasel family" , "Mammal, 'Tarka'" , "Aquatic member of weasel family" , "Riverine mammal" , "Aquatic carnivore" .)
