He was born on April 19, 2023, in Ontario, Canada and his handlers picked him up nearly two months later and brought him back to Connecticut.
UConn said Huskies named Jonathan have represented the university since 1935, in honor of Jonathan Trumbull, the last colonial governor and first state governor of Connecticut. You can follow Jonathan’s adventures on Facebook here and on Instagram here.
