Spotted animal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hyena

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "Predatory dog-like animal, makes sound like laughing" , "one to laugh" , "Carrion-eating, dog-like animal" , "He's sometimes spotted" , "Laughing carnivore" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
