In the morning everyone turns up to see this animal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

llama

'this animal' is the definition.
(llamas are animals)

'in the morning everyone turns up' is the wordplay.
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (short for ante meridiem - before noon).
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'turns up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'am'+'all'='amall'
'amall' written backwards gives 'LLAMA'.

'to see' is the link.

(Other definitions for llama that I've seen before include "one that ruminates" , "Alpaca-like animal" , "South American relative of the camel" , "Andean 'camel'" , "Domesticated pack animal of the Andes" .)
