Current Events: Palanquinha

The 2010 Africa Cup of Nations is in full swing in Angola. While the standard of goalkeeping at the tournament is utterly shocking, it's good to see the standard of mascots remains unspoiled.

Palanquinha is a Giant Sable Antelope, the national symbol of Angola.

Mascot Hijinks has yet to locate any video of Palanquinha patrolling the sidelines of the continental championship. We expect he'll be there up through the final in Luanda on Jan. 31, so stay tuned as we try to seek him out.
