Tolerates, endures (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bears

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'tolerates' is the first definition.
('bear' can be a synonym of 'tolerate')

'endures' is the second definition.
('bear' can be a synonym of 'endure')

(Other definitions for bears that I've seen before include "Ursine animals" , "Big animals" , "Massive mammals with shaggy coats" , "Large animals, polar or brown" , "Large animals, polar or grizzly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
