Have relevance to wild animal appearing (4,2)

I believe the answer is:

bear on

'have relevance to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wild animal appearing' is the wordplay.
'wild animal' becomes 'bear' (bears are wild animals).
'appearing' becomes 'on' (e.g. on stage or on television).
'bear'+'on'='BEAR ON'

(Another definition for bear on that I've seen is " Be relevant to, concern".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
