Trail Blazers sideline reporter gets completely startled by Pierre the Pelican

Typically Pierre the Pelican isn’t too scary of a mascot, but try telling that to Portland Trail Blazers sideline reporter, Brooke Olzendam, when she’s focused.

In all fairness, Brooke should be on high alert while in New Orleans. King Cake Baby lives there and could be seen at any moment. If you thought this was coming to get you, you’d scream too.

And let’s not forget that Pierre used to look like this not so long ago.

Brooke had every reason to be suspicious of the mascot sneaking up on her.
