5a Endangered animals face ruin without end (6)

Pandas, endangered animals. Pan, face and Das(h), ruin without end/last letter removed.

You’re on the ball, malone, as usual!
Thanks again.

Anriard, glad I could help. I'd already done the puzzle, that makes it easier!

Party sweet stuffed with bits of aniseed and nuts on top(8)
DOMINANT, yes, but is it common for 'bits of' to mean 'first letters of', as here for aniseed/nuts and AN?

I don't think that 'on top', here the definition, can simultaneously refer to those first letters.

Just wondering if the clue would pass muster for the daily Times.

Paul

yes bits of used in Times so a fair clue
