You probably heard about the Octopus soccer fan and predictor. And if you didn`t hear – no problem – you`ll see him now. He is quite famous and has a lot of supporters waiting for its choices.
Surrounded by cameras the Octopus makes his last prediction for the 2010 World Cup and predicts Spain as winner.
The two-year-old Octopus named Paul correctly predicted Germany's wining over Argentina, England, and Uruguay and the country's loss to Spain and Serbia. After its correct predictions on Spain vs Germany his owner received even death threats. He lives in an aquarium at the Sea Life in Oberhausen in western Germany and was born in captivity. I just wonder if after that prediction the German team got intimidated, I hope not.
Octopuses are highly intelligent. They do have both short- and long-term memory. Octopuses have keen eyesight and can distinguish the polarization of light.
To help Paul pick a winner two boxes are lowered into his tank. Both boxes have the competing country's flag and have food inside. The box Paul opens first is the team predicted to win.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), an American animal rights organization based in Norfolk, Virginia has asked for the Octopus release, but as he was born in captivity the Sea Life members do not consider that such a good idea.
Coincidence or not, the Octopus chose Spain as the winner of 2010 FIFA World Cup. We`ll just have to watch and see.
