🐾Mascot: "Little Red Bears"

Meet the Little Red Bears, or more formally, Touchdown, the unofficial mascot of Cornell University in New York. This cute and colorful bear has been a part of Cornell's spirit since 1915, when the first live American black bear was introduced during a national championship football season 🏈. Over the years, the live bears gave way to students in fuzzy red bear costumes, but the spirit remains the same. The Big Red Bear is all about school pride, appearing at various events and games, and even has its own statue outside Teagle Hall 🐾. It's a beloved symbol that unites Cornell students and alum, showing that even in a big university, a little bear can make a big impact ❤️. So, next time you hear "Go Big Red!" you know it's all about the Little Red Bears 🔥
