More than one wild animal, see, climbs (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lorises

'more than one wild animal' is the definition.
(loris is a type of primate)

'see climbs' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' ('lo' is an archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'climbs' becomes 'rises' ('rise' can be a synonym of 'climb').
'lo'+'rises'='LORISES'

(Other definitions for lorises that I've seen before include "Primates" , "Mammals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
