UNC’s mascot Rameses is now the proud father of two lambs, Ollie and Marvin.
“This has been a big week for the rams — and it’s not just because the Tar Heels are in the Final Four,” said Chris Hogan, one of Rameses’ handlers. “They had a new lambing. Stella had two baby rams that are both healthy.”
Stella is Rameses’ wife and the two have eight children together.
The Hogan family has been caretakers of the rams that have served as UNC’s mascot since 1924.
“It’s a gift that we share with UNC because we think that it’s something very special, a special tradition and a special mascot,” Hogan said. “We’ve really been happy to be a part of it.”
Rameses is a Horned Dorset and is the 22nd in the line of Tar Heel mascots.
