UC San Diego, nestled beside the sparkling Pacific Ocean, boasts a world-renowned oceanography program – the Scripps Institution, no less! So, what better mascot than a mythical creature of the sea? In 1964, wisdom struck brighter than a deep-sea anglerfish, and the Triton was chosen.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
Who's this Triton character, you ask? A total boss, that's who! Son of Poseidon, the big cheese of the ocean himself, Triton is half-man, half-fish. Think chiseled upper body meets powerful fishtail – basically, the ultimate underwater athlete.
