Crossword Genius

In Cuba looking for Kipling's bear (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baloo

'for kipling's bear' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in cuba looking' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'BALOO' can be found hidden inside 'cuba looking'.

(Other definitions for baloo that I've seen before include "Bear in the Jungle Books" , "Jungle Book bear" .)
