Serengeti scavenger (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hyena

'serengeti scavenger' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "Beast" , "Carnivorous mammal" , "Carrion-eating, dog-like animal" , "Dog-like animal with laughter-like howl" , "Dog-like African carnivore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
