We are told that clues could be 'sound like', but all are clues to Living Creatures.
6/ small bit of recluse (8)
7/ 2nd half of 6 fastening (8)
57/ low balance (8)
58/ ambassador maybe to the queen (6)

Low balance could perhaps be \"porpoise\" - sounds like \"poor\" and poise for balance

Could the 1st one be CHIPMONK??

is the number of letter correct for 7 as i think is should be monkey

Which would make the previous one "monkey"

7. might be monk seal but written as one 8 letter word?

The 2nd one looks like MONKSEAL .
