That was one of the weaker parts of the movie, I thought -- it wasn't as clear what they were as it was in the book.

In the book, there are a number of "muttations" (or "mutts") in Panem that have been bred in the Capital. The tracker jackers that stung Katniss (and killed Glimmer) are one example. In the book, the wolf mutts were created with the DNA of the dead tributes, so that each resembled specific tributes (in coloring, eyes and the like). They also had collars that identified them as specific tributes. This meant that Katniss recognized specific wolf mutts as Rue, Glimmer, Thresch, etc.
