The mascot of the hurricanes of UM goes by the the name of Sebastian the Ibis. I have no idea what an Ibis is but that's what he is an Ibis.

Improved:

An Ibis is a swamp bird that looks like a small crane. They can be found all over southern FL, including the U Miami campus. I have seen many white Ibis on the campus. I have also seen red varieties in zoos.

Where did Miami hurricanes get their name?

They are called this because there are a lot of hurricanes in Miami. not true! 1926... the team adopted the official nickname "Hurricanes," though the exact timing and origin of the name is unclear; some reports suggest it was in reference to the devastating power of the 1926 hurricane that postponed the program's first game by a month, and others that it was suggested by a player in response to rumors that university officials wanted to name the team after local flora or fauna. The University of Miami, located in Coral Gables, had been founded in 1925 and opened its doors for the first time just days after the hurricane passed. The University's athletic teams were nicknamed the Hurricanes in memory of this catastrophe. The school's mascot is Sebastian, an ibis. The ibis is a small white bird that can be seen around south Florida and especially on the UM campus. An ibis was selected to represent the Hurricanes because of folklore in which it is typically the last bird to leave before a hurricane strikes and the first to return once it's gone.[5]
