Torte for the semi-aquatic mammal! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

otter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the semi-aquatic mammal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'torte' is the wordplay.
'torte' anagrams to 'OTTER'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for otter that I've seen before include "Fish eater of the weasel family" , "Aquatic carnivore" , "Water mammal" , "fish-eater displayed" , "Fur possibly" .)
