Mongoose's burrowing cousin (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meerkat

(Other definitions for meerkat that I've seen before include "Small South American cat-like animal, has four toes" , "Small southern African mongoose" , "South African native" , "Strange tee mark made by the four-toed animal" , "South African mammal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
