00:01At the Gorlahara Zoo in Mexico, animals are making some unusual predictions ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
00:09This fortune-telling exercise follows in the footsteps of South Africa's unforgettable pole, the octopus in Dunitin.
00:17The predictions begin with two female elephants, who were presented with choices representing Mexico and South Africa.
00:24Their decision pointed towards a victory for Mexico in the tournament's opening match on June 11.
00:31Of course, we are developing an environmental enrichment activity with a bit different topic that is allusive to this FIFA
00:39World Cup.
00:40The idea is that we are going to make predictions, well, animals are going to make predictions of different games
00:46that will be played.
00:47Next, Gorilas Chenchi and Faustina were offered two pinotards shape-like player jerseys from Spain and Uruguay.
00:56The Gorilas chose Uruguay predicting a win for the South American side on June 26.
01:19A puma named Molok then selected South Korea over the Cizek Republic, while a group of six giraffes picked the
01:29Democratic Republic of Congo
01:31to defeat Colombia.
01:33Then we went to Molok, who chose Korea over the Czech Republic.
01:38The last species with which we were working were the jirafes, and they decided that the Republic of Congo will
01:46be the Ganglo.
01:47The zoo veteran says the activity is part of an environmental enrichment program inspired by the World Cup,
01:54allowing animals to engage in fun challenges while entertaining visitors.
