*** About California Grizzly Bear: The California Grizzly Bear, scientifically known as Ursus arctos californicus, once roamed abundantly throughout California. Esteemed for its size and strength, this subspecies of the brown bear became a powerful symbol in Californian imagery and is prominently featured on the state flag. Sadly, the California Grizzly was driven to extinction in the early 20th century due to increasing human settlement and activity. Today, it lives on in art, literature, and through conservation efforts aimed at remembering and honoring California's rich wildlife heritage. Efforts to educate the public on this lost giant encourage a deeper appreciation of wildlife conservation and the impacts of human activity on native species.
