Stink Week Mascot Search

Tamandua - foul smelling, but cute
Here's a candidate for the official mascot of Stink Week.  It's called the tamandua.  It's an anteater that is native to Central and South America and it stinks.  Its scent is 4-7 times stonger than that of a skunk and can be smelled up to 50 meters away.  For that it's known as the 'stinker of the rain forest'.  It smells so bad that even jaguars won't eat it and jaguars will eat anything.  On the other hand, it's kind of cute.  Not sure if we want a cute mascot for Stink Week, but you can decide.
