Evict wild animal (5)
I believe the answer is:
civet
'animal' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Wild animal' mean 'civet' so perhaps 'animal' could also mean 'civet')
'evict wild' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'evict' anagrammed gives 'CIVET'.
(Other definitions for civet that I've seen before include "Cat; scent" , "Smelly nocturnal cat-like mammal with a barred and spotted coat" , "fur" , "A very expensive coffee is made from its poop" , "Afro-Asian catlike creature which secretes a powerful odour from its glands" .)
