Known for its impressive size and strength, this bear has a significant place in Native American folklore and early Californian history. However, due to expanding human activity, the last sighting of a native grizzly was in the late 1920s. Today, this bear lives on primarily in artwork, stories, and as the emblem on the California state flag, remaining a poignant reminder of the wilderness that once thrived freely across the state. ***
