Raised in family like some wild animal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lupine

'like some wild animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'raised in family' is the wordplay.
'raised' becomes 'up' (similar in meaning).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'family' becomes 'line' (I've seen this before).
'up' inserted within 'line' is 'LUPINE'.

(Other definitions for lupine that I've seen before include "like a wild animal" , "ike wolves" , "Like some ferocious beast" , "Wolflike" , "Wolfish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
