Long-necked animal (7)
I believe the answer is:
giraffe
'long-necked animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for giraffe that I've seen before include "The largest ruminant" , "that's beastly" , "African native ruminating" , "Long-necked animal" , "The animal might fear fig" .)
