Ever since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the unsurpassed octopus Paul, it has become popular for zoo animals to predict the outcome of the World Cup.

A lion named Bahati from the Dallas Zoo "predicted" today that England would beat Croatia tomorrow night at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, in one of the biggest derbies of the entire first phase.

The food was proudly placed at two ends - two posts, on one side the food was covered with the English flag, on the other with the Croatian flag.

Bahati found the side with the English flag more appealing...

Paul the Octopus from Germany became famous during the 2010 World Cup when he successfully predicted the outcomes of all seven of the Elf's matches at the World Cup, including the semi-final defeat to Spain.

Many animals have since tried (unsuccessfully) to achieve her fame.

The elephant Nelly, also from Germany, predicted the results of the 2016 European Championship, the panda Suhai from China was the current World Cup 2018, camels were popular in Qatar 2022, and the outcomes of major competition matches were predicted by cats, parrots, seals, and even turtles in zoos around the world.
