Prairie wolf (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coyote

'prairie wolf' is the definition.
(I know that prairie wolf can be written as coyote)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for coyote that I've seen before include "-- State, South Dakota" , "N. American wild dog" , "predatory creature" , "howler" , "Wild prairie dog in America" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the Penny Press, The Sun, The Mirror, The Irish Times and The Independent.
