What keeps drawing animal home (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earth

'animal home' is the definition.
(term for a badger's lair)

'what keeps drawing' is the wordplay.
'what' becomes 'eh' (I've seen this in other clues).
'keeps' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'drawing' becomes 'art' (I've seen this in other clues).
'eh' placed around 'art' is 'EARTH'.

(Other definitions for earth that I've seen before include "Terrestrial sphere" , "Soil; electrical ground" , "Third planet from the Sun" , "wire" , "The 3rd planet from the sun" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
