You can check the California Fish and Game Codes and it will may have the information you are inquiring about:

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/calawque...dy=&hits=20

It is pretty detailed but it is updated continually so I believe it would have the complete information you are looking for.

Hope this helps!

Here Mark. This might answer someof your questions.

"Section 653o of the Penal Code prohibits the importation,

possession with intent to sell, and the sale in California of

products made from several species, including polar bear,

leopard, ocelot, tiger, cheetah, jaguar, sable antelope, wolf,

zebra, whale, cobra, python, sea turtle, colobus monkey,

kangaroo, vicuna, sea otter, feral horse, dolphin, porpoise,

Spanish lynx, or elephant. Existing law allows the sale of

crocodile and alligator parts or products until January 1, 2010.

Violations of this section are a misdemeanor punishable by a

fine of $1000-$5000 or 6 months in jail."
