The idea of the people who founded California in the 1800s deciding to draw a multi-headed abomination of a bear on their flag is hilarious.
I mean the multiheaded eagle has been used on many flags dating further back than the 1800s. So, wouldn't be too absurd for there to be a flag with another double headed animal on it I suppose. Just not sure there is a such a bear in any mythologies those founders may have subscribed to.
Edit: spelling.
To be fair a two-headed bird is on many-a coat of arms.
