#814 is a medium-large adult with a flopped over or cropped right ear, and a distinctive scar above his right eye.

In June and July, his back has a pronounced saddle and is sometimes noticeably shed out.

Late in the summer, his new coat is a uniform dark brown, and his scars might not be visible.

#814 was described as a young adult male when he was first identified in 2005. In 2008 and 2009, this bear has shown increasing signs of dominance by stealing fish and displacing other bears from fishing spots.

He was observed killing #435’s spring cub in June 2009. It is unclear why adult males will sometimes kill cubs as the cub is not always eaten. Certainly in some situations hunger plays a role, but at other times a cub may be killed and not eaten.

Motivation to mate with the cub’s mother is another theory as to why some males perform infancticide. During the situation in 2009, #814 took the cub into the woods away from the river so it is unknown whether or not he ate the cub.
