Animals damaging a Paris slum (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marsupials

'animals' is the definition.
(marsupial is a kind of animal)

'damaging a paris slum' is the wordplay.
'damaging' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'paris'+'slum'='aparisslum'
'aparisslum' anagrammed gives 'MARSUPIALS'.

(Another definition for marsupials that I've seen is " Bandicoot, wombat, kangaroo etc".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
