[RC] Fwd: [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.5873 bear with me on this - Cindy Collins
The last known physical specimen of a California grizzly was shot and killed in Fresno County in 1922.?? They were declared extinct in the state in 1924, I believe. ?Cindy
I'll double-check with Debbie,? but it sure didn't look like a black bear.? I've seen plenty of those, and have also seen grizzly bears at Yellowstone.?
