*** About California Grizzly Bear: The California grizzly bear, an iconic symbol that once roamed freely throughout the state, is captured here in an environment suggesting its natural coastal habitat. Although the grizzly has been extinct in California since the 1920s, it remains a powerful symbol of the state’s wild past. Known for their immense size and strength, grizzlies require large territories for foraging, which often brought them close to human settlements. Their depiction in artwork invokes a nostalgia and reverence for the wild, untamed essence of California's landscapes and the complex history of wildlife conservation in the region.
