Laughing animal? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hyena

'laughing animal?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "Creature" , "Carnivorous mammal" , "Carnivore with sloping body" , "African scavenger" , "Wolf-like animal with cry like laughter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Mirror.
