Spotted beast in newsworthy enactment (5)

I believe the answer is:

hyena

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "African carrion-feeder" , "African native" , "Carnivore with sloping body" , "Scavenging carnivore" , "Wolf-like animal with cry like laughter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
