The specimen later designated the holotype of U. a. nelsoni was shot by H. A. Cluff at Colonia Garcia, Chihuahua , in 1899. [ 2 ]

One of the earliest pieces of evidence supporting the existence of a grizzly bear in Labrador is a map of the region drawn in 1550 by French cartographer Pierre Desceliers, which depicts three bears on the coast. One bear is white and is certainly a polar bear, while the other two are brown. [4]
The grizzly bear, long an icon of American’s Mountain West, has bounced back since being placed on the endangered species list in 1975, with at least 2,000 roaming the country.
Extinction of taxa is difficult to detect, as a long gap without a sighting is not definitive. Some mammals declared as extinct may very well reappear. [1] For example, a study found that 36% of purported mammalian extinction had been resolved, while the rest either had validity issues (insufficient evidence) or had been rediscovered. [3]
Without those safeguards, he added, the species would again be driven toward extinction because of habitat losses due to climate change and hostile state officials intent on reducing bear populations. “We spent about $30 million and 45 years recovering grizzly bears to where they are now.
