Wolf in error? (6)
I believe the answer is:
howler
This could be a double definition.
'wolf' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'error?' is the second definition.
(I know that howler is a type of bloomer)
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for howler that I've seen before include "Glaring mistake made by schoolboy" , "Bad blunder - type of monkey" , "Extremely funny joke or glaring blunder" , "A foolish mistake, sounds noisy" , "5 in 9 29 [REVEREND IN CHARLES DICKENS]" .)
