Polecat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ferret

'polecat' is the definition.
(ferret is a kind of polecat)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ferret that I've seen before include "Animal used to catch rabbits" , "Animal trained to catch rabbits" , "Polecat bred for hunting rats and rabbits" , "Small fierce animal used to hunt rabbits" , "Assiduous searcher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
