Young animal to intimidate California female (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
cow-calf
'young animal' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'intimidate california female' is the wordplay.
'intimidate' becomes 'cow' (cow can mean to bully or intimidate).
'california' becomes 'cal' (short for California).
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'cow'+'cal'+'f'='COW-CALF'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
