The flag of California
The bear on the current flag of California was modeled on the last
wild Californian grizzly bear in captivity. The bear, named "Monarch",
was captured in 1889 by newspaper reporter Allen Kelley, at the behest
of William Randolph Hearst.
The official state flag of California, called the Bear Flag, was first
used on June 14, 1846, but was not officially adopted until 1911. It
was designed by William Todd. The flag pictures a grizzly bear and a
star.
