Roary the Panther

Bio

Roary was born October 5, 1987. That’s when the Sunblazers became the Golden Panthers. Sierra said the mascot was inspired by the Florida Panther, an endangered species endemic to the Everglades. In 2010, the Golden Panthers became the Panthers.

When he's not hyping up Panther Spirit or helping shoot photos of FIU's latest accomplishments, he enjoys long walks on the beach and hunting for Big and Tall stores.
