Wiki Wiki

Wiki Wiki is our team mascot. It is a peacock that lives happily in the school and has achieved its notoriety by squeaking loudly at inadequate moments and by angrily blocking the entrance to our working place, the Biotech Center.

He is quite a random character of the institution and has a family of equally crazy peacocks wandering around campus. Wiki Wiki loves to show off, as you can see on this amateur video of him getting on top of a fence and proving that he totally rules over the school or in this other video where he proves his ownership of the library as well.

Wiki Wiki won over the other school animals (deers, squirrels, ducks, cats...) to be the official iGEM Team Mascot simply because he has way more attitude than the rest of them. While the others walk quietly around campus, being almost imperceptible and boring, Wiki Wiki opens his enormous tail of colorful plumage that intimidates every living creature that dares cross his way. And for that, we truly respect him.
