🐾Mascot: "Bruins Bears"

Meet the Bruins, the mighty mascot of UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles)!. This tough-sounding but undeniably cute bear has a fascinating history. Initially, UCLA was known as the "Cubs," but students wanted something with more bite, so they briefly became the "Grizzlies." However, since the University of Montana already had that name, UCLA adopted the "Bruins" in 1926, courtesy of UC Berkeley. Today, you can spot Joe and Josie Bruin, the costumed mascots, cheering on the team in their football and cheerleader outfits. These furry friends are more than just mascots; they represent the pride and spirit of UCLA students, alumni, and faculty. So, if you're ever at a UCLA game, keep an eye out for these adorable but fierce Bruins 🏆 🦴
