Crossword Genius

Put up with a wild animal (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bear

I believe this is a double definition.

'put up with' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'a wild animal' is the second definition.
(bears are wild animals)

(Other definitions for bear that I've seen before include "stand" , "Give birth to - large mammal" , "Carry; large animal" , "ill-mannered person" , "Beast - tolerate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
