Wild animals munched oranges (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

onagers

'wild animals' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'munched oranges' is the wordplay.
'munched' is an anagram indicator (letters munched or crushed into a new order).
'oranges' with letters rearranged gives 'ONAGERS'.

(Other definitions for onagers that I've seen before include "Asiatic wild asses" , "Strange oranges for the wild asses" , "Asian wild asses" , "wild animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
