"Sneaky" animal (6)

I believe the answer is:

weasel

(Other definitions for weasel that I've seen before include "Stoat-like mammal - treacherous type" , "These sort of words are meaningless" , "Carnivore; a sly person" , "These animal words are intentionally misleading" , "Sly type" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
