Marsupial, possibly remaining as at start of today? (9,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tasmanian tiger

'marsupial' is the definition.
(Tasmanian tiger is an example)

'possibly remaining as at start of today?' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'start of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'today' is 't'.
'remaining'+'as'+'at'+'t'='remainingasatt'
'remainingasatt' anagrammed gives 'TASMANIAN TIGER'.

(Another definition for tasmanian tiger that I've seen is " Probably extinct doglike marsupial".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
