News: African elephant predicts 2014 World Cup games

Yahoo's global football ambassador Jose Mourinho recently tried to predict the outcome of the 2014 World Cup.

China boasted the 'panda pundits' while EA Sports' FIFA video game simulated the upcoming tournament with Germany coming out on top.
Now it's the turn of an elephant at a German wildlife park to stake its claim as the 'new Paul the Octopus'.
Paul earned worldwide acclaim for correctly predicting the results of eight matches at the 2010 World Cup by choosing a mussel or oyster from one of two boxes bearing the flags of competing nations.
The elephant, however, chooses the winner of each match by hitting the ball into one of two goals which bare the flags of competing nations.
As for the pandas in China, they will select food from three bamboo baskets representing either a win, loss or draw during the groups stages.
For the knock-out rounds, the animals will then select the winners of each match by climbing trees marked with the national flags of competing nations.
