The UC Irvine Anteaters mascot, Peter the Anteater, is NCAA Division I pixel art mascot #104 of 351. Dating to the 1960s, he was inspired by the anteater character from Johnny Hart’s B.C. comic strip. Zot, zot, zot. (View reference images.)
Note: University of California, Irvine is one of only a few DI schools for which I’ve created 8-bit mascots that don’t have football teams (the others include George Mason, Gonzaga, La Salle, Loyola Marymount, Saint Louis, VCU, Wichita State and Xavier). The Anteaters basketball team was good last year.
