In July 2007, #604 had a large open wound on his right hind leg. He is a medium-sized bear with wide set ears and a straight “Roman” nose.

#604 has a brown coat with a darker head and dark claws. He has longer fur under his chin resembling a beard.

First classified as a 2.5 year old subadult in 2002, #604 was easily recognized in 2007 because of the large, deep wound on his right hind leg. The wound was deep enough that muscle tissue was visible through the skin and fatty layers.

After receiving this injury his behavior changed and he became a more passive bear, often begging for scraps.

According to observations by bear biologists and DNA analysis, he is the offspring of #236 and sibling of #608.

This bear fished lip of the falls and scavenged for scraps below falls. Before receiving his large wound in 2007, he was infrequently seen at Brooks during the autumn months. He has not been observed along the Brooks River since 2007.
