Wolf displays timid broken toe (6)
I believe the answer is:
coyote
'wolf' is the definition.
(I know that coyote is a type of wolf)
'timid broken toe' is the wordplay.
'timid' becomes 'coy' (similar in meaning).
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'toe' anagrammed gives 'ote'.
'coy'+'ote'='COYOTE'
'displays' is the link.
(Other definitions for coyote that I've seen before include "Beast" , "Wild canine" , "-- State, South Dakota" , "North American animal" , "American prairie dog" .)
