Croatia gets lion's share in Dallas Zoo World Cup prediction

England's hopes of pre-match good fortune took a knock on Tuesday (June 16) when a trio of lionesses at Dallas Zoo backed Croatia to win their World Cup clash. The choice was a little ironic, as the lions represent the very animal on England's team badge. Lina, Bahati and Jasiri were offered food hidden inside papier mache footballs and scattered around a goal decked out in England and Croatia flags. To the disappointment of one zoologist, the lions walked straight to the Croatia side to eat. "The lions obviously chose Croatia. I am an England fan, so that was a disappointing result for me," said lead zoologist Maggie Kloza, who plans to attend the match herself. England meet Croatia in Group L on Wednesday (June 17) in a rematch of their 2018 World Cup semi-final. Whether the lionesses prove wiser than the pundits remains to be seen.

00:03There we go.
00:16All right, you guys, ready?
00:23Oh, no.
00:24And there's a boy in there.
00:25Someone's wearing it.
00:27I think somebody's partial for Croatia.
00:34I think it's a Croatia one.
00:37I think it's a Croatia one.
00:42Or maybe, Maggie,
00:43they wanted you to take the new little flag home.
00:46Yeah, there you go.
00:47Take your time, guys.
00:49Well, I guess it's a very clear decision from the audience.
00:51I feel like doing the opposite.
00:55Are we going to roll?
01:01For me, it's like the moment they just change location, I'm like, okay.
01:12Yeah, they're ready.
01:13I'm Polish too.
01:16Which part of Poland?
01:17To be honest, I don't know because they changed their name.
01:20The Lions obviously chose Croatia.
01:22I am an England fan, so that was a disappointing result for me.
01:27But I'm very excited that the Lions actually got the chose.
01:30But we will see tomorrow what the real result is.
01:33I'm hoping maybe a tie.
01:35But England.
01:39Yeah.
01:42So I'm a huge football fan.
01:45And I used to live in England.
01:47And when I was there, there was England versus Croatia in the semifinals.
01:51And I'm very excited about that game.
01:54And we're playing in Dallas.
01:55So I was like, hey, why not?
01:57Let's do a prediction in this game.
01:58And I'm actually going to the match tomorrow.
02:00So I'm very excited.
02:02And I thought the Lions would enjoy this.
02:04And plus England, three Lions on the crest.
02:07So I was like, Lions, let's do it.
02:21That would be the best for me.
02:23All right, we ready?
02:24Yep.
02:38Just a sec.
02:39I'm just going to have her nibbling on the ball.
02:45So this is an enrichment for them.
02:48And so enrichment is very important and enlicits certain natural behaviors.
02:52So we want them to scratch, to hunt, to search.
02:55And this is our way of doing it.
02:58So we do something like this every single day for them.
03:00So they have the best lives and they're very enriched in their lives.
03:05And just watch out when you talk.
03:07We do have a hot wire.
03:30And just watch out when you talk.
03:33We do have a hot wire.

03:41And you can do it.
03:42It's gonna do it.
03:47And you can do it.
03:51And we have the best parts of town.
03:52And you can do it.
03:54And you can be there.
03:56And I'm glad you can do it.
03:59And if you're dating the vehicle to launch.
03:59And in this video, you're dating, please.
