Canadians are just wak!

Ok what happens when, after trillions of Olympic Games, people start to run out of ideas for animal mascots? well ... thats when crazy Canadians just say CRYPTO MUNDO ! and decide its time to make Bigfoot and Thunderbirds their official 2010 Winter Olympic Game mascots.

How freakin cool is that! To be exact ... the cryptozoological beasties are Quatchi the Sasquatch, Miga the Sea Bear, and Sumi the Thunderbird. The mythical creatures are the work of Vancouver-based Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy of Meomi Design.

None of the mascots actually exist in real life: Miga the Sea Bear is a combination of an orca and a Kermode bear that her designers say likes surfing and snowboarding, and lives off the coast of Vancouver Island. Her black costume includes a fin coming out of her head.

Sumi, the Paralympic mascot, is a horned-hat-wearing Thunderbird from Whistler that likes alpine skiing.

And Quatchi is the first Sasquatch in history to actually make an appearance before human beings. The young sasquatch, complete with blue earmuffs, likes hockey, photography and travel, and, given his hulking size, dreams of being a goalie.
