Abstract: A non-invasive biometrical identification method and system (100) of animals, comprising: receiving characteristic data of an individual from at least one biometric sensor (102); processing the characteristic data to form biometric data identifying minutiae based skin markings of the individual and biometric data identifying physical characteristics of the individual; evaluating the biometric data identifying minutiae based skin markings of the individual and biometric data identifying physical characteristics of the individual to form biometric characteristic data of the individual; comparing the biometric characteristic findings of the individual to characteristic data of predetermined registered individuals; determining whether the individual is registered; giving the individual a unique identification if the individual is not registered; and registering the unique identification in a data storage (112).
