Scary beast's mouth (3)

I believe the answer is:

maw

(Other definitions for maw that I've seen before include "Mouth of a vicious animal" , "Jaws or throat of a voracious animal" , "Mouth (animal's)" , "Jaws or mouth of a voracious animal" , "Crop of an animal" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
