Paul the Octopus
Paul the Octopus is a two-year-old octopus with a history of correctly predicting the results of major German international football matches. Paul was born in England but currently resides at the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany. Before German international football matches, Paul is presented with food in two identical containers; one container is marked with the flag of Germany and the other is marked with the flag of Germany's opponent. In each instance, Paul's choice of food is interpreted as his predicted victor. Paul is reported to have correctly chosen the winner in more than 80 percent of Germany's UEFA Euro 2008 matches, and he has correctly chosen the winner in each of Germany's first five matches in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
