The grizzly bear is the official state animal of California. But no grizzly bears have been seen there since 1922.

The right place:
January 20, 2010
If you’ve been to the San Diego Zoo recently and walked down Center Street, you may have asked one of these questions while standing outside of the brown bear grottos. I can assure you that all three resident brown bears—Blackie, our 25-year-old Manchurian brown bear, and 3-year-old grizzly bear brothers Scout and Montana—are all doing very well and are present and accounted for!

They have been seen, but the people who did the sighting got too close to make sure it really was a grizzly bear, and never got back to report it.

Since California became a state in 1850 so there were Grizzles there for the next 72 years. The bear depicted on the flag is not a normal Grizzly it was unique to CA. California Grizzly Bear (Ursus californicus)
