Cryptic crossword help please.
I'm doing a crossword at the moment and the clue is
Surrogate animal to nose around (5).
and it needs to fit in to _ R _ X _
The answer is "proxy" because that's "surrogate", but I'm a bit stumped on how "animal to nose around" fits in. What am I not getting?
Thanks!

Today I keep banging the drum in The Independent’s #cryptic #crossword. Solve free online here (select 7th July): https://puzzles.independent.co.uk/games/cryptic-crossword-independent?puzzleDate=20260707
I've done 62.5% of the #crossword. I am giving myself B for effort. My knowledge of French artists and American poets again letting me down.
Managed to do 87.5% of the #crossword. My lack of knowledge of Japanese wordblock print artists has let me down again.
