*** About California Grizzly Bear: The California Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos californicus) was a subspecies of the Grizzly Bear, the coastal brown bears that once roamed California in great numbers. Recognizable by its size and dark brown coat, often with golden or grey tips, this majestic animal was a powerful symbol of the California wilderness. The bear's image is so iconic that it has been immortalized on the state flag. However, due to increasing human settlements and hunting, the last sighting of a California Grizzly was in the early 20th century, leading to its unfortunate extinction. Efforts continue to educate the public and preserve the habitats of remaining Grizzly populations in North America, reminding us of the delicate balance between human expansion and wildlife conservation.
