Vancouver Olympics 2010 Mascots... Repping The Great White North

The 2010 Olympics start tommorow, and I just wanted to introduce you to the 3 mascots created to represent the city of Vancouver...

Here they are:


Here is a brief description of the 3:

Sumi - is an animal spirit who lives in the mountains of British Columbia. Like many Canadians, Sumi's background is drawn from many places. He wears the hat of the orca whale, flies with the wings of the mighty thunderbird and runs on the strong furry legs of the black bear.


Quatchi - is a young sasquatch who comes from the mysterious forests of Canada. Quatchi is shy, but loves to explore new places and meet new friends.


Miga - is a young sea bear who lives in the ocean with her family pod, beyond Vancouver Island, near Tofino, British Columbia. Sea bears are part killer whale and part bear. (Miga is part Kermode bear, a rare white bear that only lives in British Columbia.)



Here is a cool video introducing the mascots to the world:



Pretty cool kids... check it out!!!!
