Wild animal that gets right into your straw, possibly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hart

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

'wild animal' is the definition.
'hart' can be an answer for 'animal' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'wild' bit.

'right into your straw possibly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'right' could be 'ar' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ar' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hart that I've seen before include "Mature male deer" , "Beast" , "Animal" , "Adult male red deer" , "Deer; Lorenz --, lyricist" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
