The second clue is a very cheeky one.
It was a way of covering an animal of which there are no named examples I know of, but there is someone connected with them.

And you know what? There IS a named example of this animal ... I've just thought of it ... but it's too late now, and anyway the cheeky clue/answer is pretty cool.
By the way, did you like my CORMACOLINDO ("Goodness me, my lettuce-draining implement") in my last password? It was inspired by your clues.
