Did I conduct a wide search for zoo animals who predicted the winner of Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs? Yes. Yes I did.
Magoo the sea lion, OdySea Aquarium (Scottsdale, Arizona): Eagles
Magoo is an eight-year-old sea lion, described as "gregarious" and "social."
Crockett the sea lion, Arizona Aquarium (Tempe, Arizona): Eagles
Cardinals kicker Matt Prater helped with the selection process.
Pabu the red panda, ZooMontana (Billings, Montana): Eagles
Pabu gets my vote for cutest Super Bowl predictor.
Bakari the baby giraffe, Blank Park Zoo (Des Moines, Iowa): Chiefs
Bakari is a five-month-old giraffe. Technically, his mother Zola picked the Chiefs, and then he just followed her, so I'm not sure what to make of that.
Rudy and Udara the orangutans, Topeka Zoo: Chiefs
This one was clearly rigged. When the orangutangs enter the shelter, the Chiefs box is like, right there. It's hard to even find the Eagles box. Of course, Topeka is in Kansas.
GTFOH, Topeka Zoo. That's Patriots-level cheating.
Hugh and Buffett the manatees, Mote Marine Lab (Sarasota, Florida): Split decision
Buffett picked the Eagles; Hugh picked the Chiefs.
Vulcan the lion, Hogle Zoo (Salt Lake City): Eagles
Vulcan the lion is perfect on his Super Bowl picks (2/2), per the zoo.
You're welcome.
