Meet the Pueo, a mascot that's definitely worth a hoot The Pueo is a Hawaiian short-eared owl, and it's not just any ordinary owl – it's steeped in cultural significance and is considered a sacred animal in Hawaiian tradition. This cute and wise bird is the mascot for several schools in Hawaii, including UH West Oahu and Maui Prep. What's cool about the Pueo is that it's not just a symbol; it's also an endangered species, so schools that use it as their mascot often raise awareness and support conservation efforts 🐦. In Hawaiian lore, the Pueo is even believed to guide lost souls, making it a pretty special and meaningful mascot. So, if you're ever in Hawaii and see a Pueo flying around, you'll know it's more than just a bird – it's a guardian and a symbol of community 🌟.
