Noisy beast? (3)
I believe the answer is:
fox
'noisy beast?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'noisy beast?' is the wordplay.
'noisy' becomes 'f' (**).
'beast?' becomes 'ox'.
'f'+'ox'='FOX'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fox that I've seen before include "Countryside carnivore" , "Cunning animal" , "Baffle; mammal" , "one with brush" , "Deceive; Reynard" .)
