Rule out getting male animal (5)
I believe the answer is:
lemur
'animal' is the definition.
(lemur is a kind of animal)
'rule out getting male' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'getting' is an insertion indicator.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'rule' anagrammed gives 'leur'.
'leur' enclosing 'm' is 'LEMUR'.
(Other definitions for lemur that I've seen before include "Ring-tailed prosimian" , "Monkey-like animal of Madagascar" , "Madagascan primate" , "Monkey-like aniaml of Madagascar" , "Tree-living primate" .)
