Seeks to identify the animals (7)
I believe the answer is:
ferrets
'seeks' is the definition.
(ferreting is a kind of seeking)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ferrets that I've seen before include "Polecats for catching rabbits" , "Albino polecats" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
