California State Animal:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The California grizzly bear (Ursus californicus) was designated official State Animal in 1953 - more than 30 years after the last one was shot. The grizzly bear is also honored on the California state flag. Before the grizzly bear was exterminated in California, this magnificent animal thrived in the great valleys and low mountains of the state (probably in greater numbers than anywhere else in North America).
