Possibly loves animals (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

voles

'animals' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'possibly loves' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'loves' anagrammed gives 'VOLES'.

(Another definition for voles that I've seen is " Mouse-like rodents found in fields and meadows".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
