Zoos in different American cities play their part trying to make their animals famous, such as Paul the Octopus at Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup.
The fever to know who will win Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. It made the directors of American zoos creative, once again, seeking to make one of their animals famous, such as the Octopus Paul in the Euro 2008 or in the 2010 World Cup.
Some zoos gave the animals boxes with the logos or helmets of both teams to predict the winner and thus turn them into oracles.

However, the response was not what they expected. Rozamond Gifford Zoo, located in Syracuse, New York, reported that they gave the twin Asian elephant cubs Yaad and Tukada two boxes with the colors of both teams. Although they destroyed both boxes, the first was the one with the Kansas City. The Zoo said this is the second year in a row Yaad has chosen the Chiefs, doubling down.

The same zoo put its tiger cubs Kpoba and Susan. However, the little animals ended up playing and hitting the boxes with their claws equally. While the result was inconclusive about the winner, zoo officials said the cubs had a great time.

The zoo director ended up writing on the networks: “We finally have a divided hunt.”
Finally, a red panda from the Akron Zoo in Ohio chose the Kansas City Chiefs as the winner of the Superbowl. “After much deliberation, Lulu established that the Chiefs will take home the victory this time,” zoo officials wrote on social media.
