Desert animal? (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3

5

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'desert' is the first definition.
(abandon treacherously)

'animal?' is the second definition.
(rat is a kind of animal)

(Other definitions for rat that I've seen before include "Plague-carrying rodent" , "Rodent pest" , "that gets out of stricken vessel" , "Inform" , "Change sides" .)
