Hunting animal (8)
I believe the answer is:
predator
'hunting animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for predator that I've seen before include "Carnivorous animal - teardrop (anag)" , "Hunter" , "Animal that lives on other animals" , "Parroted like one who exploits others" , "One preying on others" .)
