Last one 17 d sketch young animal tail first (4) s-I- Is it skit? Thanks for any help

[fiction-factory]

would work better if clue said animals plural - KITS with S moved to the front

[aelmpvw]

skid

[cleodog]

Thanks both.

[fiction-factory]

SKID is better - but clue should say ANIMALS plural for it to work

[aelmpvw]

skit is better

[fiction-factory]

Ha- Danword says skid but I can't see the definition for sketch.
SKIT works although KIT is not a common alternative to kitten is it?

[aelmpvw]

kit ... the young of certain animals, such as the beaver, ferret, and mink

Thanks

Apologies to Danword- they get it right. It was this that gets it wrong

Yes, I think we were all happy with that aspect. I was just temporairly distracted when the KID alternative to KIT was suggested.
I should always go with my first answer
