Can you work out which animals our Kennings are about?

Kenning is an Old Norse term. It is use in writing to describe something, without giving the name away. It looks at the characteristics of a subject and then describes the qualities of what the thing is, or what it does. It is a poetic phrase that is used instead of the name for something.
