Is he any different from an animal? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hyena

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'animal?' is the definition.
(type of animal)

'is he any different from an' is the wordplay.
'he any' can be anagrammed to 'HYENA'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "Carnivorous mammal" , "Dog-like scavenger" , "Beast" , "Its howl sounds like laughter" , "Wild mammal" .)
