Pesters nocturnal animals (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

badgers

I believe this is a double definition.

'pesters' is the first definition.
('badger' can be a synonym of 'pester')

'nocturnal animals' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for badgers that I've seen before include "Burrowing mammals with strong claws" , "Pesters like burrowing animals" , "Bullies" , "Pesters; black and white nocturnal animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
