'head?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'is mohawk entirely in the centre on' is the wordplay.
'is mohawk' becomes 'ha' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in the centre' means to look at the middle letters.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
The middle letters of 'entirely' are 'ir'.
'ha'+'ir'='HAIR'

'their' is the link.

(Other definitions for hair that I've seen before include "Red face powder" , "The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical (1967)" , "shock" , "Hirsute hippy musical with song 'aquarius'" , "Fibre; small extent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
