Peter the Anteater – Cal-Irvine College Mascot

The University of California-Irvine did in fact base their mascot on the anteater character from the Johnny Hart comic strip, “B.C.” Why? We don’t know but Peter made his debut in the 60s at a water-polo game and he’s still there to this day. We just can’t wrap our minds around that the fact that one, he’s an anteater and two, his name is Peter. Uhh, what?
