Animal hair found in frankfurter (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fur

'animal hair' is the definition.
(I know that fur is a type of coat)

'in frankfurter' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'FUR' is hidden within 'frankfurter'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fur that I've seen before include "Animal's coat converted to human use" , "Hard water pipe coating" , "Eg, sable or mink" , "Hairy animal's coat" , "Hairy animal coat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
