These methods are invasive and can cause pain and\/or distress for the animal, with associated ethical issues. A new method is presented here which relies on each animal&#8217;s innate physical characteristics for identification and is inspired by fingerprint identification of human individuals. The new method, which uses blood vessel patterns in the ear as unique identification traits, is  non-invasive and painless and seems to be as accurate as fingerprint identification for humans.<\/p>\n<p>The full text of the article is available from the NC3Rs website by clicking on the title above.
