Which talisman is thought to be the 1st unofficial mascot of the Olympic Games introduced in Mexico in 1968?

In 1968 a red jaguar mascot, appeared at the Mexico City Olympics, but the jaguar was not marketed with the appeal and enthusiasm of its more recent counterparts. The jaguar was selected because of its association with a geographical area where the Mayan culture thrived. In the ruins of “Chichen Itza”, there is a stone figure known as the ‘Red Jaguar’. It is made of limestone painted in red with inlaid turquoise disks and is known as the ‘Mayan Jaguar’.
