Crossword Genius

Ruminant producing gas (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yak

I believe this is a double definition.

'ruminant' is the first definition.
(yak is a kind of ruminant)

'gas' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'producing' is the link.

(Other definitions for yak that I've seen before include "Himalayan bovine" , "Long haired ox of central Asia" , "Large long-haired ox" , "Gossip (sl)" , "Shaggy Tibetan ox" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
