[MTG] What is the difference between a creature and a token creature?

So i'm fighting a fellow plainswalker and i bring out my trusty bear (2/2). My opponent brings out what he calls a bear token(2/2). I'm curious what are the differences between them to me, your average plainswalker.

A true creature summon is a detailed copy of a living thing.  In your case, it might even be a copy of a specific bear.  
A token is more like raw mana mashed into shape.  
When your bear dies, it will leave behind a body.  You can take the pelt off of it and wear it for decades.  When a bear token dies, the mana simply dissipates and doesn't leave anything behind.   It only has slightly more substance than an illusion.  Don't ask me how the hell illusion creature tokens work, that's beyond me.
