If you mean different species, one way to tell is by looking at the teeth. They're distinctive for each species.
Pretty funny. A tiger skeleton and lion skeleton look a lot alike. You can't tell by looking at the skeletons that one has a mane and the other doesn't, or that one lives in social family groups and the other is a loner hunter.

I would imagine it would be similar to elephants. I think they use a number of vaiables but the main ones are tusk size and condition and to ears. Apparently elephants (and mammoths I guess) have a lot of wear and tear on their ears. This leaves pieces missing and scars etc, which are used to identify individuals.
hope this helped
