Completely naked in the woods enduring the cold temperatures, while fleeing from a massive ursine.

I am born in a bed, but I am never asleep. I have a bank, but I have no money. I can freeze your movement, yet I am always in motion. I carry your reflections, but I have no memory. What am I?

I'm a small or medium-sized animal with a long tail. Put me before HER and I'll show a little preference. Add the suffix -ING to me and I will keep score to see how I compare to others. Add me to an ION and I become food for a soldier on a long mission.

Born from steel or broken wire, I often grow into a fire.

You can find me easily in the sand, the snow, or the mud. I cannot be picked up, but I can be left behind.
