The Wildcat

The Wildcat

Carlos Terres, 1991

The Wildcat by Carlos Terres was sponsored by Brea-Olinda High School.

Terres, a native of Jalisco, Mexico, created a realistic feline with a few of his own touches. Specifically, it has a very aggressive look and a few eagle feathers. In Aztec culture, the eagle represents intelligence, Terres said. That, combined with the Wildcat, represents, in his mind the blending of academics and athletics. (Los Angeles Times)
