Yes, it's a rabbit. European rabbit, to be precise.Not precise here but I remember from primary school because I was precocious and already had scientific bent
Rununculus bulbosis - field buttercup family and
Oryctolagus cuniculus - bunny rabbit - not sure what sub species though.

No the primary ones certainly not. The second, metre, kilogram, mole and candella are not.aren't ALL SI units named after famous scientists ?
The letter 'N'? N for Newton, N is the first character of New England short code and is there an N camshaft? Unless they are all 'NE'.
Well it is 4.20pm EDT so clue is here. American Football related
Is the correct answer sir.Ah, Cam Newton has signed for the Pats hasn’t he?
But this is good - either of you deserve the end zoneIn which case, I suggest the connection is:
The SI unit is the newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
Trinity College backs onto the River Cam, on which you can boat, or more accurately ‘punt’, propelling the boat by means of a long wooden pole, aka a 'Cam shaft'
The 'New England Patriots' (American football team) have a player called Cameron (Cam) Newton.
But this is good - either of you deserve the end zone

Shortest tenure of post as an MP?
Wow that is a short tenure. Heart attack?I think you’re right - something like about 5 days. He was elected MP for somewhere in or around Birmingham and then died before Parliament reconvened.
