Peter the AnteaterSome history behind the UCI mascot and how Peter, the Anteater, came to be. It all started by two water polo players, Pat Glasgow and Bob Erns, who loved comics and was inspired by the Johnny Hart comic strip “B.C.” Both of these student athletes campaigned fiercely before the mascot election in 1965, and their hard work sure payed off in the end. With 56% majority of students’ votes, the Anteater officialy became UCI’s mascot. Consequently, “ZOT” became the official “war-cry” since Johnny Hart’s comic strip made his anteater yell “ZOT” in his own portrayal of the anteater. https://sites.uci.edu/uuzotblog/2011/02/why-the-anteater/
