Paul the Octopus

Paul the Octopus was a common octopus known for predicting the outcome of football matches during the 2010 World Cup. He gained fame because he seemed to choose the correct winning team by selecting food placed in front of specific onshore containers associated with each team. His predictions were made by observing which container he ate from first. Despite being a simple animal, Paul became a global sensation, symbolizing a quirky, but somewhat reliable, form of sports forecasting. His predictions captured public fascination and highlighted animal intelligence and behavior in a unique way.
