Dens (5)

I believe the answer is:

lairs

'dens' is the definition.
('lair' can be a synonym of 'den')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lairs that I've seen before include "Habitations of wild animals" , "retreats" , "Places to hide" , "Resting places of wild animals" , "Animals' dens" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the USA Today, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
