Crossword Genius

Tolerate an animal (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bear

I believe this is a double definition.

'tolerate' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'an animal' is the second definition.
(I know that bear is a type of animal)

(Other definitions for bear that I've seen before include "Give birth to - large mammal" , "Press (on) - approach threateningly" , "Large, shaggy-coated mammal" , "Ursine - carry" , "One's hairy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
