Performs with animals (4)
I believe the answer is:
does
I believe this is a double definition.
'performs' is the first definition.
('do' can be a synonym of 'perform')
'animals' is the second definition.
(doe is a kind of animal)
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for does that I've seen before include "Performs; female animals" , "about 50% of deer" , "some antelopes or deer, perhaps" , "Executes - female deer" , "Suffices" .)
