Individual bears can be difficult to identify, especially the first few times you see them. Often it’s not one specific feature that’s diagnostic of an individual bear. Katmai’s bears are not tagged or marked for identification, so rangers and biologists use a combination of a bear’s physical characteristics, habits, and disposition to identify them.
