Understand

Identifying animals from a large group of possible individuals is very important for biodiversity monitoring and especially for collecting data on a small number of particularly interesting individuals, as these have to be identified first before this can be done.

Identifying them can be a very time-consuming task.
This is especially true, if the animals look very similar and have only a small number of distinctive features, like elephants do.
In most cases the animals stay at one place only for a short period of time during which the animal needs to be identified for knowing whether it is important to collect new data on it.
