I love the stories of the last grizzlies in Nor Cal—like the legendary Reel Foot. But it remains horrible and tragic how the last of this keystone species were hunted into extinction.

Oh, I'm super into CA grizzly info. I highly recommend Lost Landscapes of California by @paleolaura.bsky.social to learn more about their history here. Just yesterday, I was planning my post-retirement onslaught of getting tule elk reintroduced to the East Bay Hills.
