Meet Peter the Anteater, celebrity mascot of UC Irvine. Here’s where you’ll learn all about the anteater – his history, his habitat, his habits. Follow Peter’s bristly tail as he trots the globe and beyond. He’s been everywhere – the White House (where he posed with President Bush); the State Capitol Building where he visited Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s office; the College World Series; and even outer space, hitching a ride aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Inspired by Johnny Hart’s “B.C.” comic strip, Peter the Anteater remains, if not the most unusual college mascot, at least the one with the longest tongue. Zot!
