No more than moggy, do we hear? It’s a type of mongoose (7)
I believe the answer is:
meerkat
'mongoose' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meerkat that I've seen before include "Strange tee mark made by the four-toed animal" , "Small southern African mammal" , "S. African animal" , "Rake met (anag) - type of mongoose" , "Small southern African mongoose" .)
