African mammal with a “laughing” call (5)

I believe the answer is:

hyena

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "Creature" , "Meat-eater" , "Carnivorous animal with howl like laughter" , "Laughing carnivore" , "Carrion-eating, dog-like animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
