Tennyson had it that it was "red in tooth and claw" (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nature

(Other definitions for nature that I've seen before include "Basic character" , "The world with all its features found in tea-urn" , "what's seen in the country?" , "Essential qualities or characteristics" , "Innate quality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
