This bear has a compact, medium-large body and a brown coat that becomes lighter towards the front of his body.

#418’s claws are dark. He also has a small, but distinctive, scar above his right eye and a short, stocky and dog-like muzzle.

Bear #418 was first recognized as an adult in 2001.

While fishing, #418 often plunges quickly into the river. He usually fishes the jacuzzi and far pool.

Even though he regularly fishes Brooks Falls in July, #418 had not been observed in the Brooks area during the autumn months. However, this pattern was broken in October 2009 and October 2010 when he was briefly seen along the Brooks River.
