VANOC the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 games announced the mascots three mascots and a sidekick today.
The mascots and sidekick are:
- Miga: A part orca, part Kermode, sea bear
- Quatchi: A sasquatch that wear ear muffs but no pants
- Sumi: A Thunderbird with the legs of a bear
- Mukmuk: An island marmot.
One of the mascots Miga is a “sea bear” and is a mythical critter combination of an orca and a Kermode bear. Some news outlets got the kermode bear all wrong. When I see some place get facts wrong I know about, it makes me wonder what things they get wrong about which I don’t have independent information.
