Doglike carrion scavenger (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hyena

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "African carrion-feeder" , "Dog-like animal with howl like laughter" , "Dog-like nocturnal mammal of Africa and southern Asia" , "Scavenging animal" , "Creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
