UMaine or University of Maine's official mascot is a black bear named Bananas. However, the original mascot wasn't a black bear. It was an elephant. The black bear became the official mascot when a live black bear cub was given to the college for good luck. The mascot's name was a result of the crowd reactions to the bear.
