Wild seal, otter and bears (9)

I believe the answer is:

tolerates

'bears' is the definition.
(I know this)

'wild seal otter' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'seal'+'otter'='sealotter'
'sealotter' anagrammed gives 'TOLERATES'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for tolerates that I've seen before include "Bears" , "Accepts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
