Rameses XXII ascends to the throne of Carolina royalty

#UNC's live animal mascot, Rameses XXI, is retiring from public life after nearly a decade in the role. His successor, Otis, is preparing to begin his reign as Rameses XXII.

True Tarheel fans know the the Hogans have cared for Rameses for years, and love them for it. Great to see James carrying on the tradition. Thanks again.

wonderful to see James taking on the mantle and painting Otis' horns!

Happy to see traditions continue. XXI has some EPIC horns, I hope Otis is as blessed.

We lived about a block away, as the Crow flies from Hogan's farm. This was back in 2004. My young terriers got out and managed to harass and do some slight damage to the Ewe and her young Ram. The Hogan's were quite reasonable and we paid the Veterinary bills. We placed our male terrier in a new home far from Chapel Hill as animal control threatened to put him down if he got out again. Not sure if this is that young Ram or not. Seems like he may have been retired by now!
