Notes

The two mascots from the Olympic Winter Games of Vancouver in 2010 were inspired by legends from the Western coast of Canada. Miga is a sea bear and Quatchi is a young sasquatch (or bigfoot) from the mysterious Canadian forests. Mukmuk, the marmot is their friend, but not strictly speaking a mascot.
