cryptic clue: mammal sounds like relative consumer (8)
$begingroup$
While solving this cryptic I figured out the answer to 1-across (mammal sounds like relative consumer) without solving the subsidiary indication. (I used down constraints and the standard part of the clue to guess the right answer.) After confirming my answer in the solution (warning: spoiler) here, I am even more baffled as to how the subsidiary was supposed to work. Please help!

I believe
"sounds like relative" refers to ant (aunt), so the clue is "ant consumer," which is an AARDVARK by ddef.
