Uncovers wild animals, we hear (5)
I believe the answer is:
bares
'uncovers wild' is the definition.
'bares' can be an answer for 'uncovers' (baring is a kind of uncovering). I'm unsure of the 'wild' bit.
'animals we hear' is the wordplay.
'animals' becomes 'bears' (bear is a kind of animal).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bears' is a homophone of 'BARES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bares that I've seen before include "Strips" , "Reveals" .)
