Crossword Genius

Creature featured in Canberra television (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ratel

'creature' is the definition.
(I know that ratel is a type of mustelid)

'featured in canberra television' is the wordplay.
'featured in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'RATEL' is hidden in the letters of 'canberra television'.

(Other definitions for ratel that I've seen before include "animal like a badger" , "Honey badger" , "predator" , "creature with sweet tooth" , "Animal of Africa and India - alert (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
