I beleive it was a brown phase black bear

The species "brown bear" doesn't exist in California. If it had been a brown bear, she probably wouldn't be alive.

Brown Bears lived in California until about a century ago. The Californian Republic was known colloquially as the Bear Flag Republic, when it seceded form Mexico. And there is an Ursus arctos californicus on the state flag of California.

Well it’s still on our state flag at least...

What may be the last California Grizzly was killed near Trabuco Canyon back in 1908.

I’m surprised that they haven’t been reintroduced, so that along with our OC mountain lions they can thin out the herd of mountain bikers.

Brown bears were once in Cali but haven’t existed there for at least a century.
