The soldiers were based in the city during World War I and are said to have given the live bear to a former Baylor President after a poker game. The bears are brought to the stadium by the Baylor Chamber spirit group on game days and they attend pre-game events and stay to be the living symbol of the university at the games. However, since 2010 the bears are no longer allowed at American football games on leashes. The USDA informed Baylor officials that they would no longer be permitted to bring the bears to games per Federal Code of Regulations 2.131(c)(1)which states "During public exhibition, any animal must be handled so there is minimal risk of harm to the animal and to the public, with sufficient distance and/or barriers between the animal and the general viewing public so as to assure the safety of the animals and the public." In the fall of 2005, the university finished renovation and construction of the Bill and Eva Williams Bear Habitat, a $1 million facility which includes a thirteen-foot (four-metre) waterfall, three pools, two dens, grass, and eye-level viewing. The facility is a United States Department of Agriculture- licensed Class C Zoo. It was formally dedicated on October 28, 2005. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Costumed_mascots">Costumed mascots</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Baylor_Bears&action=edit&section=42" title="Edit section: Costumed mascots"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>Bruiser and Marigold</b> are the costumed bear <a href="/wiki/Mascot" title="Mascot">mascots</a> of Baylor University. </p><p>Even though Baylor began its intercollegiate athletics in the 1890s, they did not have an official mascot until 1914.
