In Kent, oddly, it’s a young animal (6)
I believe the answer is:
kitten
'a young animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in kent oddly it's' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'oddly' indicates an anagram (letters in an odd order).
'kent' is an anagram of 'kten'.
'kten' going around 'it' is 'KITTEN'.
(Other definitions for kitten that I've seen before include "youngster" , "Young rabbit" , "Mini-mog?" , "Baby cat" , "Young feline animal" .)
