*** About California Grizzly Bear: Once abundant throughout California, the California grizzly bear (Ursus arctos californicus) is an iconic symbol featured on the state flag, yet it has been extinct in the wild since the early 20th century. These bears were renowned for their size and strength, and they played a crucial role in the ecosystems of California's varied landscapes. Efforts to preserve the memory and legacy of these animals continue, as they hold a significant place in both the natural history and cultural heritage of the region. Learning about and spreading awareness of the grizzly's history in California is crucial for current and future conservation efforts for other wildlife throughout the state.
