The holotype was shot by H. A. Cluff at Colonia Garcia, Chihuahua, in 1899.[2] The extinct California grizzly bear extended slightly south into Baja California. The bears in Durango, Chihuahua, Sonora and central Mexico were likely more related to the bears of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas than to those of California.
