California State Flag - Bear Silhouette Design and Symbolism #1631696 (License: Personal Use)

This image shows the distinctive bear silhouette from the California state flag-a walking grizzly bear on a green grassy mound, rendered in solid black against a white field, with a black horizontal stripe at the bottom. The design originates from the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt and embodies the state’s pioneering spirit, natural heritage, and sovereignty. Though simplified here, the full flag includes a red star in the upper left and the words “California Republic.”
