Wild creature doing rather badly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dingo

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

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

'doing rather badly' is the wordplay.
'doing' anagrams to 'DINGO'.
Though, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dingo that I've seen before include "Wild Australian dog" , "Yellow Australian dog" , "One running wild in Australia" , "Wild thing" , "Aus. wild dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
