Two riddles...

1.
Weight in my belly,
Trees on my back,
Nails in my ribs,
Feet I do lack.
What am I?

2.
Oft I must strive with wind and wave, battle them both when under the sea,
I feel out the bottom, a foreign land. In lying still, I am strong in the strife;
If I fail in that, they are stronger than I, and wrenching me loose, soon put me to rout.
They wish to capture what I must keep. I can master them both if my grip holds out,
If the rocks bring me succour and lend support, strength in the struggle.
Ask me my name!

Nope. Hint: It's not an animal.

1. Well I might be stretching, but how about a mine of some sort? The ore in the "belly" of the mine being the weight, the wooden frames supporting the mine's walls and ceiling is kind of shaped like a ribcage with nails holding the frame together, and last I checked the standard mine comes footless and immobile so... yeah.

Also for # 1 (and this is a stretch) perhaps a very, very dirty gigantic legless goat, with typically bad goat eating habits.

Yeah, that second one's not right.

Ha ha, sorry, but it's not a dirty legless goat. XP And the mine answer was a good guess, but that's not it either. ...Actually, its not even close. Heh.
