 The
most popular octopus in the world, Paul,
passed away last month. On October 27, Sea Life Aquarium in Germany, where
he lived, announced the successor to the psychic octopus. According
to the aquarium, the new octopus will also be called Paul. He was
born in France and presented to the public last week.
Paul the psychic octopus gained huge popularity during the 2010 World
Cup, held in South Africa. He predicted all seven of Germany’s
World Cup wins as well as Spain’s victory over the Netherlands in
the final.
 Paul made
his predictions by opening the lid of one of two plastic
boxes, each containing a muscle and bearing a national flag. The English-born
octopus correctly picked the winners
and became very famous. He died due to natural causes at the age of two on October
26.
The aquarium will train his successor to predict
the winners of soccer matches like the late Paul. However, no one
is sure if the new octopus will have the same psychic talents as his
world-famous predecessor. We will just
have to wait and see! |
